At the end of January this year, one of my younger brothers got his first car. A leased Seat Ibiza 1.4 Sensation Edition (100 Hp) in the color Ovni Yellow.
One month after he received the keys, Seat brought out the restyled Ibiza, pity but not intirely.... the new Ibiza isn't available in Ovni Yellow. Wich made my brothers car one of the last Yellow Ibiza's sold Dutch Ibiza's.
When he received the car we immediatly started talking about detailing it with Meguiars.
After a few handwashes this weekend we got to the first real detailing program, a full detailingsession!
Together with my brother we fully detailed the car, many things to learn, because he never used Meguiars before.
In a coincidence we dressed almost exactly the same...
But as a older brother you should see I'm the wiser one.... and also the one weighing 15 kilo's more
The car is daily driven. So there's a lot of roadkill on it.
A lot Before-pictures were made, man looked that car dirty!
Smearing under the gascover.
There are only few swirls on the car, wich is easy to explain due to the age of the car
The ones on it were hard to find, and hard to make photographs off.
Alll products displayed on a table.
Do not try this at home. Just 30 seconds after I made this picture my applicator pads were blown of it by the wind. (I had to to switch to complete new ones
)
Washing using the 2-bucket method.
As you can see, one bucket still has clear water in it. The other one full of good foaming NXT wash.
After washing the car was moved to a new spot. The sun was starting to burn so we had to move to the shade.
When we moved the car, we rinsed it with water to get rid of any new contaminants (like desertsands or pollen)
When we drove the car inside we didn't realised progress would be hard to see, due to the bad lighting. So we had to continuesly attend we didn't miss a spot.
At last I could use the Quick Clay (wich I purchased in late November last year) After I got it out (wich was actually hard to achieve) the fun started!!!
Because we did the car together we could combine certain steps and win some time with it.
When I was claying, my brother followed me instantly with the Paint Cleaner.
Paying attention nothing is missed!
The finishing touch.....
Lets see what steps we did, and wich products were used.

Reflection shot, still inside.
Productshot...
Then a better fit, with the daffodils in the back.
Bye..bye roadkill...
I learned a lot this weekend. The claying was very very intresting and fun to do. All bugs and stuff disappeared as melting ice.
And another Meguiars enthusiast in the making... although he wouldn't want to be on the picture....... :roll:
