Tuesday - Day 5

As the 1st coat of Vintage was allowed to cure over night, I gave the car a wipe down with Last Touch and then applied a 2nd coat. It was extremely hot outside and the unit was like an oven inside so curing wasn’t going to be a problem - with the oils showing signs of rising after an hour or two.

My focus then turned to the interior:

The leather was suffering from a bit of colour transfer from the customer’s jeans:





This was fixed with the help of Raceglaze Leather Cleaner and a MF applicator:



I worked the cleaner into the leather:



Dirt lifted:



Good as new:





Having cleansed all the leather, I then fed it with Raceglaze Leather Balm. Every single customer so far has absolutely loved the smell and look of this stuff so it gets the big thumbs up from us:







I gave the leather a wipe down a few hours later to remove any slight smears that remained (all smears disappear over 24 hours in my experience but I didn’t want any for when the customer collected the car):



The door shuts were waxed with Vintage:



The seals were fed with another product from Raceglaze:





The tailpipes were polished up with Raceglaze Metal Polish and a CCS Light Cut Pad…

Before:



After:



I then sealed them with one of Blackfire's latest Polycharged products:





Onto the wheels, these were sealed with PB Wheel Sealant:



Including the inner rims:



We'd been sent several types of wash mitts to try out and whilst this one was no use for paintwork I had decided it had a good use...



...for removing the sealant from the inner rims





Tyres were dressed with Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel and then buffed off 30 mins later:



I then realised I’d forgotten to de-swirl the number plates:



A 3rd coat of Vintage was applied and then removed after another wipe down with last touch to remove the oils from the 2nd coat.

The engine bay was dusted down and then dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant:





On a detail as extensive as this I usually write a list of things that need to be done so I checked everything had been done and was looking A1 and then gave the car one last wipe down with Last Touch.
