Cleanup time
Remember the day we collected the car?
Pretty, green, kinda dull inside and outside.
So I had to wait for the weather to give me a window of opportunity to was and detail the car.
Washed on Sunday. Ran out of dry time.
So yesterday I cleaned and buffed the glass.
Inside rear glass was the worst
Washed glass then dry cloth buffed till the difference was noticeable.
Much better. Glass is damaged from years of snow and frost scraping when you look really close enough.
Then started on the hood/bonnet, trying to get the lacquer damage corrected as much as possible.
Followed by the rest of the car.
Hand polishing allows you to get intimate and identify all the marks and correct some of the damage that does not need a PDR specialist.
Once all the paint has been polished, buff off the powdered polish followed by getting onto all the black trim.
Body rubbing strips, bumpers and then mirrors, glass trim and in the case of this convertible the roof seals as well.
Half and half, showing the before and after.
Big wide mouthed toad.
Suits the name “La Petit Crapaud”
Getting into every possible groove, and hidden dirt trap.
Makes me feel better.
Final result, it feels as smooth as it looks.
Now, if I saw this on a sales lot……
I would be interested in buying it.
A few hours of focusing on this makes a big difference to my day.
