Vauxhall Corsa Energy 1.3 CDTI Automatic 2004
Hiya, been a long time since posting anything, this was a favour for one of my cousins, his second car a little corsa diesel automatic which must be something of a rarity . Unfortunately no befores and isnt up to detailing standards, bit more valeting style. The aim was to see how much improvement I could make before putting it up for sale. It didn't look like it had been washed in a while and I was told not to worry too much about the alloys, the brake dust was really engrained.
The rotary wasn't mine, it was a bit on the heavy side. Used the softest pad I could find but the backing plate wasn't the best, was also the first time I'd used a rotary so kept the speed very low but certainly made a huge improvement, and let me see when i do buy one will certainly be a light one.
It was blowing a gale outside and I had to shut myself in the building to prevent the dust from blowing about (you may see a light dusting on the roof as the door had been up to get machinery and tools out whilst I was tackling the interior). Also the seats where cleaned after I'd taken pictures with some car plan aerosol with a brush attached (interior valet?) was very surprised, did a decent job.
Pictures with iPhone 4S so some are a bit poor quality.
Many thanks
Christian

)from getting in an causing the dust to form. It was when I was doing the interior afterwards that people were in an out, thought best to point it out as its quite obvious in one of the pictures. My cousin was over the moon with it, just wish I taken some befores to show how bad it was.
