It has been a while since I last used a rotary polisher in anger, but with my car looking a bit sorry for itself, I decided to spend the week of good weather tinkering away small bit at a time to get it looking back in shape again No fancy products used really, just what I cobbled together out of my old detailing collection and put to use to brighten up my old Volvo No big writeup, just a wee summary and some after pics Washed the car (Meguiars Shampoo Plus) before every polishing session. Working a couple of panels at a time, I clayed the car with Meguiars Aggressive Clay and Last Touch as a lube (two years since its last clay), and then polished the car by rotary polisher (Menzerna PO85RD3.02 Intensive Polish on a white CleanYourCar pad, followed by Menzerna PO85RD Final Finish on a blue 3M pad). Didn't aim for perfection in terms of every mark removed - the car has some deeper scratches, but its also 130,000 miles old so that as far as I am concerned is par for the course - just restore the gloss and bring life back to the paint without ripping too much of it off was the aim After polishing, clease with Lusso Revitalising Cream and protect with Zymol Glasur wax. Tyres with Turtle Wax Extreme, glass with Zaino Clear Glass, plastics with a long forgotten product: Meguiars #38, found at the back of a cupboard That's pretty much it, didn't bother polishing the exhaust, need to buy some metal polish and the sills are road rashed to hell as is the front bumper - but hey, for 130k miles (both here and in France), I don't think she looks too bad... Also been pottering away with the interior too, perhaps put some pics of that up when I've finished pottering
I would, but then I just need to put them back on again when the car goes back across to France, so I just leave them
Great to see you are still doing well, always nice to see the top notch work you perform! The Volvo looks great Dave.
Car is looking good Dave, especially when you count in the mileage. Nice to see you posting again too. Kind regards, Ebbe
I've always liked the S60 but I really started admiring them after I saw a real touring one preform..car looks good man
