My 1st detail...

[bsharnock]

After many hours of forum reading, chatting to the pros, and spending LOTS of money, here is some pics of my first detail done on my S2k... The process i followed was:
* Nice good wash incl. engine bay, behind badges, in door jams, etc
* Clayed the car
* Polished with Menz PO 85
* Then a 2nd polish with Menz final finish
* Glazed with poorboys Black hole
* Waxed with Natty's paste blue wax
* Waxed rims with Rimwax
* Treated soft top with Raggtop
* Interior with adams leather and int. cleaner as well as leather conditioner

Please excuse the amatuer pics, i was figuring it out as i went along.

Some before pics:




the swirls weren't too bad but definately needed some TLC.
Some 'during' pics:



here is a 50 50 after the 2 polishing stages:


Then some more pics after the 2 polishes:



Took my rims off to give them a good wash and wax as night approached:



I did the wheel wells with some apc - happy with the result but they are very worn:


Prepped the car for raggtop- That stuff worked brilliantly! I actually did the whole inside of the top as well which made a massive difference.


Took the tail pipe ends off to give them a good polish:


After the end of day 3, i finally got to take some final pics of my project :lol:


Engine bay done with Cyclo APC - really came out well!!


Rims came out very nice!! Used the turtle wax on the tyres:


Only took 1 shot of the inside as i have noticed not many people are too interested in the inside lol. It came out reallt nice though,was very happy with the result!


Took some pics inside my garage...









The sun then came out after a few days so i had to take the opportunity...wow, it is SHINING!!!










Hope the post wasnt too bad - my first post as well as my first detail. Hope you enjoyed the pics!
