Illustrious Detailing

Got the opportunity to sort this badly scratched up Highlander out. Taking the 4x4 track isn't always the best idea!
Came out pretty good I think!

Here's a 'quick' detail I did last weekend. Spent Saturday doing all the interior plus engine bay. Sunday was wash & single stage polish. Sadly I didn't get any before shots, but trust me, it was quite bad. Apparently it had been sitting outside for about 3 months. There was even a panel at the back where for some reason the clear coat had faded only.there. Once polished I could see a very slight difference in colour, so I'm guessing it has been repaired at some stage. The before & after of the bonnet shows how bad the paint is, but the customer just wanted a tidy up, so I wasn't going to do any correction to the paint, just bring back the gloss. Customer was very happy with it.

Gee it's been a while since posting anything, didn't realize over a year!
Anyway, a couple of weekends ago I got stuck into tidying up the Nissan since I was trading it in. Just a 'quick' single stage polish & it came out nice & shiny. Engine bay, interior & boot was all done too.

Saw this poor Z3 sitting on the side of the road almost & one day stopped to take a pic. Thought to myself I'd love to get my hands on it & bring it back to glory.
Well, that was back in June last year. Not long after that it had gone.
Now I have it parked in my garage & my dream can come true! I must say for a poor neglected wee Z3 the M wheels on it are in mint condition! Sadly it does have some clear coat coming off in places.

Such a nice day to be working outside.

Our cousin from Hamilton came down over QB weekend with his new Mazda6 for a tidy up. Not a lot of photos as we just worked on the exterior. It got a thorough polishing, almost full restoration, followed by 3D ceramic coating. There were some nasty scratches here & there but reduced enough to not be noticeable unless pointed out 😆 As usual, very happy customer!

Keep forgetting to post up last job! I guess I should now the garage is full of this 😀

Finally got the Z4 finished on Saturday. In time for the Z club run on Sunday 😆 The wheels had been done about a month ago, still looking good though. She came up real nice for a 12 year old car. Still has a few RIDS here & there, but that's to be expected. I even gave the glass a bit of a polish to get rid of the water spots. So the process was started with 6" Surbuf pads with Megs M101 to knock the bigger scratches out. Followed by Megs MF cutting pad with D300 & polished up with Rupes white pads with Sonax Perfect Finish. Wiped down with silicon remover & finished off with Kamikaze Miyabi ceramic coating.

I haven't done this for a while. Looking forward to it!

The owner of the Lexus just sent me a bunch of photos so I thought I should share. Consent to was given!
