Hi guys
This was completed, when Maff (mbclub.co.uk member/admin) first purchased this car, as a new protection detail. But after some serious enjoyment and the damp/greasy roads, it was in need of some desperate attention:
As you can see, it was looking quite dirty indeed, and was going to take a little work to get it back to showroom condition. Now at this point, I would like to point out that white is the most vulnerable when it comes to fallout. White is a breeding ground for sap, acid rain and rail fillings and can cover white paint in black specs. If you have had this problem, this is what they are. Even giving your car a good clean will not remove them without rubbing very hard indeed. Obviously you do not want to do this. This best option to remove all is give the car a chemical bath with iron x. Wash the car in the same two bucket manor, rinse and then apply iron x. This will attack the fallout out the same way tardis removes tar deposits. It will react with the fallout and turn them pink/purple/red. Do not worry this is normal! Leave for 10 minutes, out of direct sunlight and then re wash the car. Once brought in to dry, then clay your car with a mild clay. This will remove all of these marks leaving the car lovely and white. On the mp4, this was no exception. The car was covered from head to foot in black specs, therefore having the same treatment. Hence a chemical bath.
The detail on the mp4, was the following:
-Wheels cleaned with bilberry & iron x with wheel woolies then rinsed.
-Tyres and arches cleaned with megs all purpose cleaner & rinsed.
-All shuts cleaned with megs all purpose cleaner.
-Front of car treated with poorboys bugger, bug remover and rinsed.
