started cleaning the 1...not finished
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:38 pmim new to all this and this was my first real attempt...The car has been stood scince august! and hasnt been cleaned scince then! she was looking rather shabby. so as the sun was out today i decided to start cleaning. it was in a worse state then i thought as water and bits were coming out of the water run off channels for ages, so just to clean it took over an hour, i also had some problems with bird poo,scratches, and moss around the windows. heres where ive got to so far....
heres a few pics before of the bird poo, and moss.
ok so now i used the two bucket methord and auto glym shampoo with new spunge. this took me ages to get the car clean!!!
as you can see there was quiet alot of tar on the car, so i used auto glym tar remover which i found ver effective if left for a few mins, it makes the tar run.
i then used maguiars scratch remover
so the car is clean and 80% of tar is removed, im now going to start claying the car.
for the clay i used maguiars fast detail spray, and clay. then dry off with a micro fibre cloth.
as you can see even after extensice washing, and tar removing there is still alot of dirt and defects on the paint.
with all this done the remaind tar, and hard to remove gritty bits of dirt have been removed, to leave the car 99% clean. from start to now it took 5 hours, and was getting late in the day. the cars been covered until next weekend when ill wax, and protect.ill also remove the wheels, and clean under side, aswell as inside boot and then engine and enigine bay. ill post those pics up next week. heres how she looks now.
