    Two write ups in a week, what's going on?! :doublesho:lol:


    This one was done last week :)



    Cayenne GTS, another car on contract with us and this was it's first correction detail - a 3 Day Minor Correction:

    Step one was the Pre-foam:

    [​IMG]


    Left to dwell for a few minutes:

    Then rinsed off at high pressure:

    The car was into us a few months ago for a 1 day protection detail so all surfaces were still well protected, which made the pre-foam and rinse even more effective, with very little in the way of dirt left after a thorough rinse :thumb:


    Wheels were cleaned with Megs WB (10:1), just the tar spots left on the inner rims:

    [​IMG]


    Tardis was used to remove these:

    Megs Super Degreaser was used to clean the tyres and arches:

    R222 was used for the shuts/petrol cap/exterior trim and badges etc:

    Back to the arches, which were sprayed with Tardis:

    [​IMG]


    Then wiped clean:

    As always, the car was put inside for the clay stage to avoid any dust etc:

    [​IMG]


    Even though the car was in a few months ago, I still felt the need to clay the paint to ensure it was 100% clean, as you can see this was justified with the contaminants picked up:

    [​IMG]



    Now dried off and ready for polishing, I took a few quick snaps of the defects:

    Nothing overly bad, and seeing as Cayennes aren’t affected by sticky paint problems like most newer 911's etc (got another sticky 997 sat in the unit as I type this!), I reached for Menzerna P0203S which is ideally suited to defects such as the ones this car had.

    The polish was worked with a 3M Polishing Pad @ 1500rmps:

    [​IMG]


    I always wipe down each panel with Top Inspection as I go for 2 main reasons - mainly to check my work and secondly, dust doesn’t seem to stick to the paint so much when it's free from polishing oils :)

    The Automatic open/close tailgates on the Cayennes are handy things for polishing :D

    Having the doors open makes it easier to access the side skirt extensions too:

    85RE was used on the areas that weren't so badly swirled and marred:

    Plastic strip on the top of the tailgate before:

    After:

    [​IMG]



    Once all polishing was done, out came the lambswool duster to get rid of any small remaining traces of dust:

    [​IMG]


    LSP was Zym0l Vintage applied with a Blackfire LSP Pad:

    [​IMG]

    I had planned on taking more pics as I detailed the interior and engine etc but Friday was one of the busiest days in ages (sun comes out so everyone wants products for the weekend!) so quality control took priority over the quantity of pictures.


    Here's the best of the pics Rich managed to get on his SLR just as the owner had to leave on Fri evening though :thumb:

    Great detail. It looks beautiful...If you do a three day minor correction. How long does it take you to do a major correction...:shrug:

    Wow, great job. Those new Cayennes are beautiful. Also those are the most impressive wheel wells I've seen. You can see the beading! I guess the Tardis really did it. Where did you get that wax applicator? I like the coat it leaves.

    Looks awesome Clark! One question though, what do you use to spray/apply your Tardis? I just got a gallon courtesy of Carlos and was curious as to how you use it. TIA!

    Thanks guys!

    Just spray it on neat and leave for a minute or two, then wipe off with a MF :) I use a generic bottle with a chemical spray head.
