My dads ML was looking rather sorry for itself this morning (not as bad as my CLK right enough) so I thought I'd treat her to a little TLC. The original plan was just a quick wash/qd/dry and do mine but I couldn't stop myself...
Here are some before photos (one weeks worth of grime as I washed it last week too)
The products ready
Process was:
PW Rinse
Foam (CYC Foam Lance + Autoglym Pressure Wash)
Clean the wheels (Meguiars Wheel Brighter 4:1)
Clean the arches + tyres (Meguiars Super Degreaser 4:1)
PW Rinse
2BM wash with Dodo Supernatural Sponge
Rinse
Chemical Guys Speed Wipe QD applied to wet car and dried off with a Sonus drying towel
Engine bay cleaned with Meguiars APC (10:1) on a MF cloth to remove dust and dressed with Meguiars Hyper Dressing (4:1)
Door jams cleaned with Speed Wipe on a MF cloth
Door seals treated with Einszett Gummi Pflege
Exterior Glass Polished with Autoglym Car Glass Polish
Interior Glass cleaned with Autoglym Fast Glass
Interior wiped down with a MF and Autoglym Vinyl Rubber Care
Some Autoglym Odour Eliminator sprayed inside too (like the smell of that stuff)
Wheel arch plastics dressed with Meguiars Hyper Dressing (4:1)
Tyres dressed with Meguiars Endurance Gel
Body work treated to some Zymol Field Glaze
Started at 10:00 finished at 14:30, with lunch in between and just taking my time.
The car was fully corrected by myself last Spring with a Makita 9227CB rotary and Menzerana Intensive Polish 3.02 and Finial Finish PO85RD and that has been locked in 2 coats of Collinite 476s and just one extra coat two months ago naturally it is still beading like mad.
So, all that left me with this:
Just a little arty shot:
Not bad for a few hours work, stay tuned for the CLK tomorrow. She's filthy (2k miles of grime)...
Thanks for looking and comments/criticism welcome.
