as the title suggests, a mate who does this part time, had a call to do a vehicle at short notice, as they were going on holiday to the south of France, he couldn't do it so asked me to help out, so thought "what the hell!" and said yes.
Landcruiser
"just a quick hoover out, wipe the interior over, clean the windows inside and out, wash and polish" he says, hhhhhmmmmm..........
on arrival.....
dog hair hell
i hate interiors, :lol:
minging
so, i got the interior out the way first, wiped over the interior with mild APC then treated with aerospace 303, all windows done with meguiars window clean, inside and out.
wash process was a lower half foamed APC, the PW'ed off, then snow faomed with added CG's Citrus Wash and gloss, twice, then washed 2BM, with Megs Hyperwash dried and polished with AG Super resin Polish, then waxed with 50/50 connoiseur. wheels done with megs wheel brightener, and tyres done with AG bumper and rubber stuff i think, only coz i forgot the megs endurance stuff! :wall:
shame its silver, always feel a little underwelmed with silver cars.......
crap lighting im afraid
gave up trying to do straight lines, as i keep falling off the tailgate! :lol:
carpets had stains i didnt even attempt to tackle, and i was told by the owners that they've been there since the day they got it, so they wasnt expecting them to be removed, be intresting to know what might shift them tho, out of intrest
have a few more pics which i will add a little later, as i have forgot to edit the number plate...... :wall:
when i got home, bumped into a neighbour, who has asked me before if i could tackle his wifes motor, so as i was unloading, thought i may aswell do that too!
i forgot pre-pics, it was worse that this......
gives you an idea of how bad just the wheels were....
the rear wheels done
glass was clayed the megs glass cleaner.....
as it was a rush job, i just clayed it the AG SRP, the 50/50 wax.
its had a pretty bad respray and i guess it wont ever be a mirror finish candidate
half Black Wow'ed
as i say, the Tigra was a rush job, so i will spend more time on it later on, just needed some protection as its sorn'ed at the minute as his wife cant drive at the present time.
cheers for reading!
