  • oxidized car wash corsa

    This was a job I had last Wednesday.
    The lady in question e-mailed me inquiring about how oxidised paint could be rectified and would it be possible to get her car how it was when she first purchased it some few years back.
    After many e-mails she sent some pictures to me and I wasn’t to surprised in its state as she took it through the car wash religiously every week, she loved it so much and loved it being clean, little did she know the damage that was being caused.
    The date was set and off I went to collect it ( first time doing a collect and deliver service but seeing as though i have use of a unit now lol )
    Unfortunately not many pics of the wash process, in fact, not many pics in total as I wanted to crack on.
    Wash process included wheels cleaned with VP blue acid wheel gel, agitated with megs spoke brush and swissol style brush.
    APC all knooks and crannies, agitate with brush then 2 bucket method with DG 901 and megs lambswool washmitt.
    Rinsed then clayed with yellow poly clay and home made lube consisting of water and DG901.
    Dryed and into the unit.
    Here it is in all its pink glory.



    All fragile areas taped ready for some intense polishing.


    Heres the roof midst process.

    And far less swirled up.

    Bonnet under heavy work, it was so dull that it took lambswool and faraclae G3 to break it then refined down with LC polishing pad and power finish, finally menz final finish on finishing pad.

    Ended up with some very nice 50/50 results, many came in and complimented.

    Nice reflection shot in the unit. 2 coats of 476s.


    All a pillars and hard to reach areas carried out with menz spot pads and power finish/final finish.
    All trims done with CG new look trim gel, tyres /arches with carbrite reflect satin gloss dressing, glass cleaned with valetex glass polish, wheels sealed with supagaurd wheel sealant.
    End results shocked even me, client was over the moon with the service and the car was beyond her expectations so contentment all round.




    And some final pictures courtesy of the client.




    Thanks for looking.

    WOW! Excellent turnaround. Very nice work!
    There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

              I certainly did.
              I had written up a full wash and maintain regime for her with what recomended products to use to make it a keeper and I have since contacted her to see how its holding out with which she replied that she was going out to wash and tidy it up again that day, she has cleaned it 3 times so far with my system and the car is holding out nicely.
