This Transit Custom came in for a good tidy up.
The owner had purchased it a couple of months before it came in and it looked great on collection.
After a couple of weeks, strange marks began to appear all over the van.
It had clearly seen a bit of mopping action before sale.
The order of the detail to bring it up to a nice standard again...
Full safe wash and decontamination.
Stripe removal from bonnet and bumper.
Enhancement Detail - single stage machine polish.
Ceramic Pro Sport for the paintwork.
ODK Momentum for wheel protection.
Top secret glass protection :thumb:
Onto the van.

Full safe wash, kicking off with Auto Finesse Avalanche

After being washed and dried, we get an idea of what we're dealing with here.

After full chemical decontamination, the car was brought inside for clay bar treatment.
Then onto the stripes.

he bonnet was then treated to two machine polishing stages to remove any ghosting from where the vinyl has been.

Now onto those buffer trails.

The van was panel wiped and 2 coats of Ceramic Pro Sport applied.

All plastics and rubbers were dressed.
Glass sealed.
Wheels protected.
And the finished result.

Not many after shots, it's hard to get the whole van in frame in the workshop... that'll be sorted soon
Thanks for reading,
