  • 2011 Peugeot RCZ-Advance Detail

    Ok after working about 3 hours in this post, and pressing the "Submit" button i get an error and explorer closed! so i have to do it all over again this time iam doing a quick one jeje

    Hola Moler's,
    here a recent job we did for a client, he saw some of my work online and called me for a detail and correction of his new delivered car, after arriving at his work place for a inspection, we arranged Saturday as a good day to work on the vehicle, we arrived early and there was the RCZ waiting for us to restore her to the "beauty" state, heres upon arrival







    Swirls, holograms, wax residues, damaged trim Ohhh My!!
    Car was pre washed using my brand new Karcher and Foam Lance (old pressure washed died on me a couple days before) to soften the grime and dirt before being rinsed at low pressure then high, after this 2 buckets were prepped with grit guards, and Gold Class shampoo with a Wash mitt on one. then pressure washed again.
    Wheels were treated with Daytona Wheel Brushes, and Megs Wheel Brightener @ 4:1, wheel arches washed with APC @ 10:1 and Mothers long handle brush, after a throughout rinse the RCZ was dried using WW Towel.



    After this the car was clayed using Meguiars MG Mild Blue Clay, with Last Touch @ 1:1 Dilution on warm deionized water, Supreme Shine Microfibers removed the spray detailer residue

    Correction Stages followed, i taped some of the rubber trims on the window, to prevent pad contamination and possible damage to trim (in the Unlikely event )
    took out my brand new "just arrived" G220-V2 Polishers for a nice test drive on this lovely paint, mixed with some CCS Pads, these new machines are AWESOME, the longer handle makes it easy to control the unit, the "cruise control" worked great without "interrupting" too much, it just took a bit of time to kick up speed when pressure was applied, but it just a commentary,
    one thing i noticed is that at speed 6 the new v2 feels like speed 5 on the old unit, i havent checked the OPM specs but the v2 feels a bit slower, still this doesnt affect correction power.
    also i got to use my 3 inch backing plate with 3000 Unigrit paper to remove a scratch on a panel, also 4" Megs Pads were used for small panels in the bumper.

    Heres a 50-50 on the correction stages, this pix does not do any justice on the before condition,



    after finishing the car was washed again to remove polishing dust residue, after this the car was wiped with IPA to make sure any polishing oils were not covering imperfections, then i moved the car to full sun for inspection before applying the M21 2.0 Sealant under the canopy,
    All the final details were also being done at this stage, the exhaust was hand polished and NXT Metal Protect was aplied, rims were waxed with NXT Paste 1.0 and tires dressed with ASD, rubber trim and plastics were treated with Hyper Dressing and Trim detailer

    and on to the final pictures, enjoy!








    Total work time 15 man hours
    Price for 2 G220v2 800dls retail (yes Chile IS VERY expensive)
    Happy customer.........Priceless

    Hope you enjoyed the pictures, my old Sony Cybershot died...so this pics were taken with a cheap 50dls new Cybershot i picked up, gotta wait to order a Canon t1i LOL

    Keep on shining!

    Excellent results & narrative too. Your pix show me a car we need in the US. Peugot doesn't export here but they should consider it. Is it as good as it looks?

      Awesome results. The Peugeot looks amazing. Great job.

      I noticed you used warm deionized water for your dilution with the last touch. Any reason why?

          They are being released here in Australia soon, so I'd be surprised if you guys don't get them. They certainly look the part but by all the reviews, unfortunately they are just another mundaine 4 cylinder hathchback underneath... 1.6L, front wheel drive - nothing too exciting compared to how it looks.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

            Thanks Mike! i was having some issues with the clay breaking apart, kinda turning into chunks, i think it was the water because i did not have this issue now, also the warm water keeps the clay pliable. BTW water here in Chile is very "hard" so its really easy to make water spots if you leave the liquid to dry,

            Is a very nice car that draws atention, but its lacking in the power department, like th owner said: "all show, no go" its probably gonna try to take Audi TT's place.
