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
