  • Astra H OPC - black - complete detail with G220EU

    Hi folks,

    yesterday I gave my G220 the first go on my father's Astra H OPC.
    The car is about 1,5 years and ran 51.000 km :driver: .

    Car before being washed:











    Tires were cleaned first.



    Alloys were cleaned using P21S Wheel Cleaner.







    Rinsed with water.



    Rinsed the whole car with water.



    Car washed using the 2-bucket-method and Meguiars NXT Shampoo plus Ultimate Wash Mitt.



    Calipers were cleaned with NXT Shampoo and a toothbrush.



    Clayed using Megs clay and Last Touch 1/1.



    Clay after half of the car, the other half was done by my father.



    Washed again using a cheap sponge and NXT Shampoo.





    Detailing Swabs by Meguiar's.



    Rinsed again.



    After 2 times of washing and claying.







    Dryed using Cobra Guzzler and Last Touch.



    Taped off the car.



    500W flootlight was nice to work with, but doesn't show the defect well on these pictures.





    I started with #83 but because of a lag of time, I later had to use #80 only .



    My father applied Endurance High Gloss.



    From...


    ...to with #80:





    After polishing, without wax.



    I tryed to do some 50/50 shots, but didn't work well.











    While I was polishing my father applied #16 to the car.



    i could remove a lot of scratches, just the hard ones rest.



    3 more pictures of the wheels.







    Exhaust was cleaned and polished with Autosol Chrom Polish, rear lights were done with Plast X. After finishing all, it was too dark outside so I shot some fotos today.

    Sadly the weather is bad.




























    God is a granny.









    Sun, come out!

    Those aren't just for the detail...They are also for the time it took to prep and post the pictures...

    Thanks !!!!

            Thats a great looking car. You and your dad should be proud of a job well done. The car and the pics look great. I am glad I am not the only one who gets rained on after a complete detail. lol Once again great job.

                Thanks for your kind words!!!
                I'm really glad that you pros like my detail!
                Sadly the sun does not want to come out, the following days will be even worse .

                @08 Corolla: I think that won't help but I received it from that shop:

                I'm sorry but I don't know which shop in America sells this brush.

                  Thanks I didn't bother to look where you were from but I will look for one online. I bought one but it's too short and wide and won't fit in some parts of the wheels.

                    I think you will be happy with the EZ Wheel Brush, it works well for me.
                    I hope you'll find a shop which sells this brush.

                        Excellent detail job on a cool car. I sincerely hope that Saturn will tap into some of the performance parts available from the Euro parts bin for the car is available in the US now....

                          Saturn Astra, at your Saturn dealership soon if not now. Same car. I hope they get wise and make a redline and put the turbo motor from the Sky in it.

                          Awesome job on that paint and putting pictures up. I bet your dad likes it and I'm willing to bet it looks better than when it was new.

                              Thanks!

                              Some time ago I read that Saturn has some Opel models in America (Astra, Vectra - Aura and some more).
                              Can you already say how you like them?
