Eastertime, detailing time !

First i started by getting my stuff and tools ready.



Than it started like every year

First up the wheel arches.


Started at the read axle


Off the wheels and took a closer look











Started with a all purpose cleaner (Meg APC)

And with some help from my Kränzle pressure washer and some brushes...









Next up: Front axle









Just the same work done as in the rear











Wheels back on and lets have a closer look!


Dirt


Spiders


Pollen


more pollen

As always i started with the wheels:




Gtechniq C5 still going strong after 1year !

Engine bay:




Rust....




I covered the engine to prevent damage. After pics follow later in this thread

Washing time:








Cartman !

After the wash it was time to get the car inside.




Its time for some new paint protection


Tools ready


Removed some parts


The car was clayed but without results...


The cheapo working cart

Next: Polishing

Used my Flex 3401 excenter polisher, a orange lake country foampad and some meg#205 (wich is a light finishing polish)


Super light scratches.. think its ok after one year of just washing.


Polished


Hood done.


Your driverside


DONE


Nothing to show at the rear light.


But here is something to show.


Frontwing before....


... and after polishing


50/50 Your passenger door


Done. Time for...


... carwax from bouncer !

Aplication was quite easy but removing was a bit complicated.
Usually i use super plush microfibers with long fibers.....
Didnt work at all so i changed to a shorter pile.

This did the trick.

After this was done i used 303 Aerospace Protectant in the engine bay, cleaned the winndows, dressed the tires and put the car back together.

Out in the sun for some finish pics !









































Thats it ! Still a lot to do but at least the paintword is in nearly perfect condition again.

Thanks for reading if you have made it this far
