My CSL detailed

[AlexGTT]

After too long, I finally got the CSL detailed so it's looking it's best for the new season. I plan to sort the small amount of stone chips after the Summer and the paint shield but in the meantime, Justin from Gleaming Kleen has worked his magic with a two day paint correction and detail. Results are stunning and it just remains for me to keep the finish up with a few items Justin left me with and a new washing routine.

Here is Justins detailed report on the job. Hope you enjoy and it goes without saying I highly recommend his work.

First I started to clean the wheels and soon realized the wheels needed removing to get fully clean as the inners were in a bad way from track use.

Removal would also enable me to add several layers of protection too area's of wheels that would otherwise be hard to reach if applied whilst wheels are on vehicle.

Wheel arches were cleaned with As G101 and surfex HD whilst wheels were removed

Wheels after being cleaned with a mixture of P21S Wheel Gel and Megs Wheel Brightner. Still alot of build up of stubborn tar and rubber, this was cleaned with Tardis and Clay bar

After wheels were fitted back on vehicle recieved a foam with AG Powermax 3and worked into all panel gaps, crevices, badges,shuts and engine bay

Vehicle was washed with megs Shampoo Plus and a lambswool washmit and clayed using Sonus green. Paint was inspected and measured which revealed a few area's had been resprayed.

Whilst inspecting paint I found some deep scratches on bonnet which would need wet sanding to remove.

You can just make the scratches located between the two lights

These were wet sanded using Arablon 2000 & 4000 grit

Sanding marks were then removed using 3M Fast Cut plus

Correction was then carried out using Menz 3.02 on a Megs Polishing pad, some area's required 3M Fast cut plus
