first post from scotland

thought i would post up a job i did not long ago hope you all like

my self and Andy got at glen`s at 8 in the morning to start the M3 detail
first off was to rinse the car off then spray the car with citrus cleaner then rinse off again. After that we washed the wheels with P21 wheels cleanerthen it was time for the 2 bucket wash with the mitts and dryed off with the sonus towels.
then we took the M3 into the garage to check for paintwork defects and this is what we found.





next stage was to check the thickness of the clear coat in the paint

as we found we had good readings on the clear coat and there was some heavy swirls in the paint work we went for.
menzerna power gloss with the meg`s cutting pad on the rotary

then we went for
menzerna IP with the meg`s polishing pad with the rotary
followed with
menzerna Final Finish - PO85RD
once the we were happy with the paint work and checked over with the lights we set obout cleaning out all the gap`s between the panelsround the trims and around the glass using make up brushes as i find these are very soft and are perfect for this job
now its time to get the paint work ready for the wax
for this stage we use HD cleanse and as the reason for us using this product is that it helps for the wax bond to the paint work giving it a longer life span.
LSP time
for this we used Vintage Glaze
also we treated the wheels to HD cleanse and Vintage Glaze
here is some of the afters

Wow talk about mirror finish...very nice and I really enjoyed your write up, very detailed I like that. I got some a question for you though.

First, the paint gage reader that you are using what is it's name? Are you pleased with it? Reasons I ask is because I'm looking for one and I'm looking for some feed back from members here.

Oh yea, the picture of the steering wheel on the other side threw me off...had to read the heading on the posting again "first post from scotland ".

Did I read this right...12hrs each..meaning total of 24hrs? Wow that's long...probably would take me triple or perhaps quadruple that amount to get those results lol...well done.

Now, the owner...is he a buddy of your's because he is HUDGE!! I would hate to piss him off hehehehe

Wow I'd be happy after I see my car looking like that. I have a feeling I'm gonna be going rotary sometime in the future.
