MarkATR Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Thought id post this up seeing as its kinda a vw, Was a customers car i had a few weeks back. Khan Bentley Continetal GT with 25k miles but the paint was in horrible condition, swirl marks everywhere as the car never really gets polished. It gets washed 2-3 times a week at a handcarwash which will be the cause of the majority of the swirls.Heres a few pics of how the car looked when it got dropped off.WheelsTailpipesSwirlsDoor Shuts {sorry pic is at a weird angle}I started by going round the doorshuts and difficult to reach places such as the mesh in the grill to clean them. Here sa during pic of the door shutsI then started with the wheels using a watered down acid solution to clean the stubborn stains at the back of the wheels. Wheels have been powdercoaed so durable enough finish to use acids on.I then cleaned the faces of the wheels and the backs with a varitey of brushes and a sponge with warm soapy waper using megs next gen car shampoo.Wheels AfterThe arches were then pressurewashed out and a variety of brushes used to scrub them although no pics of this.The car was then pressure jetted to remove some of the dirt and was then washed using the 2bm method with megs wash mitt and megs next gen shampoo.RinsedCar was then dryed using microfibre towels.I then clayed the car using Clay Magic, here was the claybar after the wing and the door on the n/sI then masked the car up then assessed the paint for damageDully hazy/swirled paint.Scratch on bonnetI then started to machine the car using a 3m yellow pad and 3m fast cut plus.Poor attempt at a 50/50 picCloseup of the side that was doneAnd the side that hadnt been done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
