Reflex Silver GTi in da house
After detailing my wife’s Freelander, I decided to give my own ride a little attention.
This car is a 2006 model with 56xxx km on the clock and I really try to keep it in good shape ever since I bought it in 2008. It had a few parking lot type scratches on the sides and the black B-Pillars were showing some very bad swirls. The side mirrors (which Maldino painted black some time ago) also showed very bad swirling. Some before pics: I also decided to refit a part of the colour coded front lip which I damaged a while ago while I was busy. I replaced the very lower section with the stock OEM (black) part. While I was at it, I also removed the grills in order to clean them properly. The engine bay was filthy from oil blown out through the filler cap. (I have replaced this cap twice but it somehow seems to keep doing this) Getting to the real work - I again used the following products: Megs Gold Class Shampoo Adams Clay Kit CG Cut 1.5 Menzerna PO 203S Collinite 845 303 Aerospace Protectant Raceglaze Leather Kit Sonax Glass Cleaner Work in Progress Pics: And some final random after pics: The Honeycomb parts came out looking like new! When I took the car out for some final shots, the rain came down in Cape Town – so herewith some beading shots… The big van behind the GTi is my next challenge! Duration: In total I spent 19 hours (over 3 weeks) on this car as follows: Wash down – 1 hour Vacuum & Clean Interior – 1 hour Leather Treatment – 2 hours Clay – 3 hours Tape – 1.5 hours Polish – 4 hours Wax – 1 hour Trim (including strip & fitment) - 3 hours Wheels & Rims – 2 hours Windows – 0.5 hours I used the Raceglaze Leather Kit to transform the seats back to original condition. The seats were starting to show their age and I gave it 2 successive treatments. I am very impressed with this kit as the leather now feels soft (like new) again. Unfortunately this is difficult to capture on pics. Thanks for looking! |
