Before we start I would just like to remind members never to let the dealership wash or prep your car as you will get this probably at most dealerships


Vehicle on arrival:




First up was to clean the wheels using P21S wheel gel and an assortment of brushes. Then vehicle was soaked in P21S TAW and then given a wash using a Lambswool washmit and Megs Shampoo plus using TBM. Vehicle was clayed with Sonus green

Plates removed in preparation for Jon's private plate


sticky tape removed with Tardis


Some of the defects present:


Some wet sanding marks left behind

This is the best shot I could get of the swirls but doesnt really highlight how bad they were




After trying several combos I settled on using 3m FCP on a 3m cutting pad. Not many correction shots due to fact it was hard to capture the defects due to colour of vehicle.

Also some areas required wet sanding using 2000 & 4000 grit


After all correction was carried out the vehicle was refined using Menz 85rd on a Megs Finishing pad. Paintwork was then given a IPA wipe down in preparation for 3 coats of Zaino Z2 with ZFX, 1 coat of Zaino CS and a final wipe down with Zaino Z8.

Wheels were cleaned with Zaino AIO and 2 coats of Zaino Z2 and tryes dressed with 2 coats of Zaino Z16. Arches dressed with Megs All season dressing and exhausts polished with Autosol




Glass cleaned with AG glass polish and sealed with Carlack

Leather was cleaned and conditioned with Zaino. All plastics and vinyl cleaned with Einszett Cockpit Premuim
