///MPower done by Zee

[onyx]

Hey fellas!

Dave knows of this my debacle... (i'll share a little with you)
Staying in a complex, i constantly fought with the Body Corporate (a.k.a Apartheid Police) regarding my "water usage etc etc etc"
Which meant that i had no place to practice this art.

Well no more dear friends... I'm very happy to finally display some work.

Here goes nothing:

The lady pulled into the wash bay ready for a shampoo.











Adams Shampoo and APC mix via the Foam Lance





Wheels took me forever to get clean! (Would've liked to remove from the vehicle but pressed to get it done in 1 day)
Followed by a good rinse with the PW and thereafter 2BM wash





Clay'd! (and this just from the rear quarter)



Rinsed and pulled into the work bay for inspection







Sections taped off to find the best combo




Eventually settled on FCP + 3M Yellow pad for some particularly bad areas
The rest got the Presta Swirl Remover + Green Hex Pad treatment via Rotary
Followed by UF via DA (UF such a pleasure to work with!)

Taped up and ready to play!


Pressed for time so no pics during the process unfortunately.

Onto the Afters!
IPA wipe down - LSP was Colli 915














Thanks for Looking!

That "after" shot of the clay is pretty shocking. One of the worst I have seen.

Expected the clay to pick up alot of nasties from the rear quarter - but THAT shocked me too!
Safe to say it's never had the treatment... (and no i didnt drop the clay)

Love the clarity and gloss, although the reflection in the last pic is a bit disturbing .

So where did you do the work?

LOL Talking about disturbing... The camera is actually covering a big ass Tache! clicky

My buddy opened up a Bosch Service Center franchise. I'm lucky enough to have access to a dedicated wash bay, well lit work area and hydraulic lifts a bonus too
