Finished up last night at last, Im getting too old for this kinda sh*t :hammerhead:

No part goes left untouched

I had to de-grease the inside of the bonnet 4 times, and aggravate it with the steam cleaner and brush to get all the dirt off, was really a pain, but now looking good as new. New anti-freeze and oil was topped up and the right bleeding process was followed.

Happy wife happy life right?

Purchased some goods last week to detail the two Vehicles. I got tired of asking people if I could use their detailing stuff or having to pay someone a huge amount of madibas for something I know how to do.

Broke the bank a bit but will be worth it.

Crazy Detailer DA Polisher

Hey Shaun, your car transformation is sick. Clicked through each page along your journey and you have inspired me to start with some exterior enhancements. Please tell me, do you have Velcro patches for your front number plate? If not what method do you have to keep the front plate in place. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Howsit,

I only ran it without front plate for a short while, got pulled over too many times then stuck it back on with double sided tape.

This Sunday I had Pixie detailed. My good pal Sebs came through to do the detailing, as I was modding his rear lights in exchange for his detailing expertise. Which I think was a kak decision, as he arrived a bit late the detailing continued up until around 1am and I only finished with the taillights around 3am, on a Monday. Never ever will I attempt to do a set of lights again in one single day.

Some before pics, a bit difficult to get the exact extent of the paint deterioration on a white car.

The vehicle was rinsed down, then sprayed with dragon breath (Fcuk the stuff stinks) do de-ironise, then clayed and selective parts were sprayed with APC, and the foam canon was used with carchem shampoo.

Sebs hard at work.
First session was with Menzerna Ultra cut.
2nd Session was with Menzerna Final Finish.
3rd Collonite sealer wax was done.

The outcome is brilliant, there is a 90% improvement of how the car use to look. Unfortunately it looks like the previous owner used a pot scourer to wash the car, as the scratches are really deep, and the only way to get rid of the majority of them is to wet sand it and then polish again. But I am amazed at the results. Big thank you goes out to Sebs for his time and effort.

While all of this was happening, I was busy with his Audi 8L tail lights, you would think the more sets you do the easier it gets, but these buggers gave me uphill. But all and all they turned out great.

I started on the 1er's Headlights last night. Have something different planned for these, should be good advertisement for my Brand name.

Will post more pics as I go along, for now just these.
