Finally got round to looking through about 500 pics and making a thread!
A few months ago Fro asked me to detail his starlet, so here's some pics and write up of what i did!
This is what it looked like when it arrived at mine:
First of all the car was thoroughly powerhosed then soaked in foam: (hyper wash with r222 added to the mix to remove any existing protection)
And rinsed:
The usual wash process was carried out, then soaked in tardis to remove tar spots, wiped down, washed again, then rinsed and rolled into the garage for claying: (werkstat auto shampoo and 2bm used for wash, blackfire clay and lubricant for claying process)
Once it was clayed, it was taken back outside for a final wash before the polishing stages, Polishing pics in no particular order: (mainly menz 203s with menz or lake country polishing pads with da polisher)
Bonnet:
Roof:
Headlights were brightened up!:
50/50 on roof:
Tailgate was brightened up a bit:
Front bumper corrected:
Looking good!
Very glossy!
Engine bay wiped down:
Dusted down:
After IPA wipedown and inspection:
Finished photos: (after blackfire paint sealant and midnight sun wax applied, exhaust tip was polished with autosol and sealed with blackfire too)
Beading shots!
Thanks for looking
