Gleaming kleen - Lancer Evo X

First like to say thx to Dave @ In the Detail for the referal:thumb:

Client volunteeered to drive up to me from Devon and leave me the car for 3 days to carry out paint correction and a few other jobs such as removing all the paint protection film as installer didnt do a very poor job. Also owner wanted the rusty hubs seeing too and a dent taken out on front door

Vehicle on arrival looking a bit grubby








Wheels were removed and throughly cleaned and clayed inside and out and then protected with GTechniq



Arches were cleaned with BH Surfex and tardis. They were then dressed with Megs ASD


The rear rusty hubs: these were sanded back and given 2 coats of primer followed by several coats of paint.




Vehicle foamed with citrus degreaser and worked into all panel gaps and then washed with a lambswool washmitt and Megs Shampoo plus


Paint protection film was removed from front bumper, half bonnet, rear arches and wing mirrors. Pulling the film off at a 45 degree angle and with the aid of a heat gun resulted in hardly any adhesive left on paintwork from film


Lower panels were sprayed with tardis and gently wiped with a microfiber and vehicle then clayed with sonus Green and Megs last Touch as lube


Vents removed from bonnet and front wings to make maching a little easier


Paint measurements were taken and then a a test panel was done to find a suitable combo for correction. Settled on using Menz 3.02 and a light cutting pad with some area's just requiring a 3m black polishing pad

just fantastic. i never get tired of your excellent detailing skills .. thanks for posting.....

 

Well done there Jay, vehicle looks incredible, love those rim pictures, I also like how you make those pictures look like that side by side :thumb:

That engine bay looks squeaky clean :thumb:

Um..excuse the question but what is this:

What's it for?

 

designed for paint it will give atlest 2 years protection and also transforms exterior trim and stops them from fading for 1-2 years

More info here
and here
very exspensive stuff though...few vids on you tube, google it and it will come up with some results of what different products they offer..very impressive stuff

 

thx to everyone else for their comments:thumb:

 

Really...mm...:thinking: I'll do a bit or reading on it and I'd like to give it a shot, first some reading :computer:

Thanks for the info eace:

 

go on Carlos you know you wanna buy some....500ml will only set you back £598:yikes: not sure what that is in canadian dollars

 

Boy that stuff is expensive, £598 is about 2x Canadian currency...I'll be doing quite a bit of reading before I purchase.

So how long have you been using it for Jay, I remember when you first got it and you have been using it for a bit now. What's your feed back? How's the durability? How do you know the product is still doing it's job? I mean is it like a sealant with the beading?

 

i only buy it in 60ml quantity at a time..I havent used it on paint yet but it has great reviews from some of the guys... have seen some vehicles its been applied too and looks good

it totally transforms tired and faded plastics. Maybe a bit to glossy for some ppl but the protection you get certainly outweighs that IMHO

It beads just like a wax, a wax or sealant sits on top of a surface whilst this stuff actually becomes part of the surface...hence why pro application only

google it and have a good read :thumb:

 

Very very nice, those last pics make the vehicle look like it has dark brown metallic paint!

 

very nice work and thats some crazy stuff

 

Awesome work, I'm speechless! And that nano-sealant is expensive, at that price it needs to be bulletproof!!!

 

Looks great.

Nice thorough job :applause:

What did you use to dress the engine?

 

wow!!

 

Looks great! FQ-330 or 360?

 

Great Detail. It looks just beautiful. Man, You do some awesome work...:worship2:
