  • Quick clean up for Bugatti USA

    Contacted by Bugatti USA(Todd Helme passed my name to them), they needed a quick clean up with no correction for a Grand Sport Edition to be shown @ a show for the premier of "Cars 2" @ Pixar studios in Emeryville.

    Mobile job under tough conditions(No shade/water) but the maintenance guys for Pixar did show me a GFI outlet on the light standard in the parking lot so I was able to give the car a nice cleaning for the show the next day.

    At arrival.


    There was a decent amount of marring, and the car could use a thorough correction, but not horrible for a press car with 8K on the odometer.


    After the car cooled down, I moved it to a spot with some shade and room and got started.


    As there was no water source I brought my "Low pressure washer" and sprayed Sonax Full effect on the wheels and let stand and cleaned the barrels as usual.






    Jeff @ Immaculate Reflections wanted to see the pull out bed on my truck, here it is Jeff.


    Foot scuff on the clearfilm, utilized Premier's TTR to clean it.




    Removing "Bug deposits" with the TTR.

    As stated "No correction", but the finish was so dry I gave it a pass with Megs D301 and a finish pad for some smoothness.


    Interior clean up.




    Would have loved to give the car a full correction.......but now it is presentable.

        I agree with Mark. Great job on the Bugatti considering the conditions.

                  I had no idea you were mobile Bob. Pretty sweet mobile rig though! What low pressure sprayer is that? Looks like a newer version of that battery one that was the rage a few years ago.

                    It had been driven a good 400 miles since Bob cleaned it and now it was our turn. The rims were filthy and the front was covered in bugs and little tar specs.

                    The picture Bob post with the paint defects don't do what this car actually needed justice. This car would benefit from serious paint correction. We did pretty much exactly what Bob did to this car the day before.

                    We had a blast working on it. It truly is an awesome car!!!

                    Thank you for the referral Bob.

                      BTW....the blue Bugatti that the folks a Meguiars polished was parked right next to this one when I went to go pick it up. Sorry no pics as it was too dark for my cel phone camera.

                              No worries Joe, I knew you and the "Crew" could handle it.
