Hi Chaps,
I'm trying to catch up on write ups, but failing miserably!
(sorry Matt)
Having seen our previous work Matt contacted us as he was looking to improve the appearance of his lovely GT's paintwork, there were swirl marks etc detracting from the overall finish, as well as some staining to some areas on the seats which also required attention.
We agreed to carry out a full enhancement detail, including interior detail. Turns out I wasn't 100% happy with the finish I was achieving and wanted to make the flake in this superb colour pop a bit more, so I decided to go for a two stage enhancement to achieve the look I wanted.
The process carried out as follows (unfortunately little in the way of progress pics due only having a day to turn the vehicle around!)
- Wheels cleaned using AS Smart Wheels, vikan/lambswool brushes
- Tyres/arches cleaned using AS G101, vikan brushes
- Citrus pre-wash via foam lance, to remove loose debris/dirt, high pressure rinse
- Bodywork, door shuts etc washed using Dodo Juice Supernatural, 2BM and lambswool mitts
- Bodywork/wheels decontaminated using Iron X/Tardis, followed by clay with Auto Finesse grey
- Paintwork corrected using Meguiars MF DA System, some areas receiving several hits to correct deeper RDS. Paintwork was then cleansed using Dodo Juice Lime Prime prior by DA prior to waxing.
- Paintwork was waxed using Auto Finesse Tough Coat
- Wheels lightly polished by hand, sealed using Mint Rims
- Tyres, plastics and rubbers dressed with Car Pro Perl, glass cleaned, exhaust/chrome polished
- Full interior detail, include mats/carpets clean, fabrics, plastics etc, glass cleaned
Here's how the car looked on arrival:

Thanks for looking, comments/questions etc welcome! More on the way!
