Boxster 3.2 S - mid winter detail
Discussion
Posted in Readers cars but thought it was relevant for this forum too...
Been a busy boy today. I started the morning with the car looking in dire need of some TLC...
So I washed her with some AG Shampoo and then it was out with the machine polisher (very recently clayed so didnt do this step). Went over the car with a Scholl purple pad (medium cut) and Scholl S17+ polish. Next up was a mix of Vanilla Moose Glaze mixed with Red Moose Glaze (Pink Glaze I guess!) put on with a Scholl Orange finishing pad. The paintwork looked amazing at this point but of course needed wax to protect all my hard work.
So for the first time I used some Collinite 845 Insulator wax on my Scholl Orange pad with the rotary set to speed level 5. Its a shame that you cant see it in the flesh as the photos don't really do it justice but, for silver which is hard to tell warmth or depth with, it looks amazing. The car looks wet and reflects everything beautifully. So anyway lets lets the pics do some of the talking...
All in all a very productive day. The car looks even better in the dark with all the light bouncing of it and the freshly waxed wheels really finish it off. I hope it at least stays dry for me to enjoy the way it looks tomorrow but I will still enjoy watching the way the water beads when its rains!! (sad I know!)
Some shots to attempt to show the depth and reflective qualities...
Gratuitous wheel shot...
