I recently bought myself a lovely 2005 Tuscan and just had it detailed by Jay at Gleaming Kleen (www.gleamingkleen.co.uk). The pics and description of the work done follow...

Vehicle was pre-washed, washed and clayed as usual

Arches were cleaned with BH Surfex and Tardis








Wheels were cleaned, clayed and then machine polished with Menz 106fa to add a bit of gloss to them




Wheels were then sealed with Nanolex Alloy Sealant


Few shots from around the car highlighting the defects












Bulk of the correction work was carried out using Menz 302 on a polishing pad, some areas required stepping up to a cutting pad

Few before and after shots









































Paint then refined with Megs 205 on a 3m finishing pad
























Once all machine polishing stages were complete SV cleaner fluid was applied/removed and then a coat of SV Best of Show was applied, A second coat was applied the following day.

Few finished shots




































Thanks for looking

Hughesie

I'm sorely tempted to get the steam cleaner out. What a top job. Have you still got the Tam or has that made way for the Tuscan?

Amazing job. Although looks like the polisher has swirled up your number plates something terrible wink

Looks amazing!

I see so many TVR's in great colours like this but most of the time the paint is not in good nick, nice to be able to see one how it's meant to look!
