Default Megane F1 - Detail

A mate i went to school with asked me if i'd be able to sort his Megane out so i was more than happy to give it a going over.

It started out pretty grubby, bugs splattered and loads of Tar spots and swirls galore!!

How it began......



Grey wheels??












So where to start???







Car was first of all snow foamed:








The car was then rinsed off, and washed with the 2BM using Zymol Autowash, with 2 x Autobrite buckets & Grit guards with a Meguiars lambswool wash mitt.

I then refoamed it, rinsed and clayed all over with CYC Blue Ultra fine clay and some Autosmart Reglaze as clay lube.

The car was then dried off with an Autobrite fluffy blue towel and some Meguiars last touch.

I then set about inspecting the paint to find quite a few swirls and surface scratches.





I got the machine ready, and taped up the rubbers and badges etc.

I started out with an SFX2 Pad, and some PO85RD 3.02 but even this wasn't having the desired effect, i didn't expect the Renault to have hard paint but obviously it is...

I stepped up to an SFX-2 Spot pad with some Menz Power Gloss S100 and this was much better.

50/50 having just done the top section



Another 50/50



50/50 of bonnet





LSP was a choice between the various waxes i seem to have ended up buying so thought i'd try the Britemax #6 Liquid wax via machine
