Hello all have a few days off work until I start my new job, so I thought I might swell spend the day cleaning my 9. I must say it looks brand new literally lol. I did my cleaning in 5 stages, concentrating on one panel at a time. I repeated the 4 stage cycle on all panels to gain the best results.
Here is the stuff I used to detail.
I used Maguireâs polishes as in my eyes I have found them to be the best products on the current market. I thought I would try MERS polish to see what it was like; I must say it is superb, highly recommended.
Products used
⢠Smooth Surface clay Kit
⢠Ultimate Compound
⢠Gold class carnauba plus premium liquid wax
⢠MERS Ultimate polish.(blue bottle)
⢠Demon Shine quick detailer
First stage - was to lube the panel in order for the clay bar to work. I used demon shine as it is only just basically to be able slide the clay bar a cross the panels, so no need for expensive materials for this part.
Second Stage -Then I Worked the clay bar into the paint work until I could feel it go completely smooth. Once I clay bared the whole panel. I then wiped the panel down using a clean microfiber cloth. Once I wiped down the panel I immediately noticed a huge difference and I still was no were near finished.
Third stage â I then used the ultimate Compound (a better version of t-cut) and applied using a damp polishing cloth. The reason I used a damp cloth was because 23 degrees outside was far too hot to apply dry polishing and I could have caused swirl marks/light scratching on my body work. It also makes polishing less effort which leaves more energy to proper buff the panel. Remove using a clean microfiber cloth.
Fourth stage â I applied Mers polish, this is what is used on boats. I have heard a lot about MERS, so I thought I would try it out. I must say itâs defiantly worth the £16.99 a bottle. Easily the best base polish I have used. I used a damp cloth again and slowly polishing in circle motions, Remove using a clean microfiber cloth.
Fifth stage â Apply liquid wax using a damp cloth then lightly buff of using a clean microfiber cloth.
Now repeat the process again to gain the best results.
If any requires this done let me know, i can offer a very good price to forum members. The whole process took me 6 hours to do. I only use top products and the results are like day and night.
Thanks for reading, i hope this helps you out.
