Engine bay was given a foam with AG Powermax 3 and then worked into area's with various brushes and a microfiber cloth

After engine bay was clean I started the wash and deconyamination stages on the exterior including all door shuts. All shuts, panel gaps and trim were sprayed with AS G101 and worked in with a Envy brush and then wiped clean with a microfiber

Vehicle was foamed with AG Powermax 3 and this was worked into all emblems to looosen the buid up of polish residue
P1090306.jpg


P1090308.jpg


P1090309.jpg


Foam was left to dwell for a few minutes before being pressure rinsed off
P1090311.jpg


vehicle was then washed with a lambswool wash mitt and Megs Hyper Wash, rinsed off and then all paintwork and glass was clayed using Sonus SFX and Megs Last Touch as lube. Once claying was complete the vehicle was quickly foamed again, rinsed and then dryed using a thick microfiber drying towel.

P1090328.jpg


Wheels were then removed to allow me to add some protection to the inner area's of the wheels that would have otherwise been hard to get to with the wheels are on the car. These were first cleaned with P21S and then given a good spray of Iron Cut to remove any remaining decontaminates before being clayed. Once clean they were given a good wipe down with IPA and Nanolex Premuim Alloy Sealant was applied.

P1090340.jpg


P1090341.jpg


These were then sealed with Nanolex Premuim sealant
P1090342.jpg


With the exterior complete I turned my attention to the engine bay, I removed all carbon fiber parts to be machine polished
P1090363.jpg


P1090365.jpg


P1090366.jpg


I used a workbench to screw down the parts then machine polished them using Menz 3.02 and then followed up with Menz 106 on a finishing pad. Different size pads were used to allow me to get to some of the more tighter areas.
P1090370.jpg


These bits are prone to go milky looking over a period of time due to the heat in the engine bay so I used Nanolex Professional Sealant.
P1090371.jpg


Exhaust box polished using Brillant Metal Polish's and various pads on the DA, this was then sealed with Blackfire Metal Sealant

Whilst wax was left to cure for a few hours I set about doing some of the smaller jobs

I used Raceglaze Aclantara cleaner, this was decanted into a bottle with a sprayer to make things a bit easier and this was sprayed on and then worked in with a cloth and left to sit a few minutes to allow the product to left the dirt out which was then wiped with a damp cloth.

Jay,

That looks great, makes me want to get mine done again, even though she doesnt need it.

Jay - do you have any hard waxes in your portfolio? i want to try a few layers of waxes opposed to sealants.

Thanks

Noor

Jay I think that is the best one I have seen you do, the carbon fibre responds really well to the mopping.

I have a crack in my carbon steering wheel, right on the top, can it be repaired?

Is that when you dug your finger nails in going around the bus stop.

Jay I never cease to be amazed at the lengths you go to to restore the cars you work on. Your care and patience is quite apparent.

Given you've worked on many different cars, I'd be interested to know your favourites and why?

Cheers, Miles.

Obviously aware that Jay does this for money P, but that is no guarantee of excellence. The work of many a main dealer grease-monkey is excellent, but alas the work of some isn't and yet they all take £100+ per hour from your wallet for the pleasure of their labour, so it's nice to be able to complement someone on the quality of their work irrespective of whether they were paid for it or not.

Of course Emtee........point I was really making....that pics of one bad job, so obvious in a photo......will say a lot more than, than another bit of work done on the car for which we have to rely on a verbal description!

Jays prices are on the high side.....though........but not s high as the 20K valet/detailing commented on on another thread!

You can get a cheaper detail than Jay, but after seeing a chaps GT3 who paid half of what Jay charges I must say that Jay is a cut above the rest...You don't get invited into as many forums etc as Jay has if your work isn't regarded in high esteem. Plus if you look at the cars he details people are trusting some very precious machines to him.

Not to sure on the crack , is it the actual carbon cracked or the lacquer?

Jay, the darker cars seem to always have a better finish do you agree that silver/ grey cars never quite shine as much or would you like to prove me wrong by showing me some pics. my 4200 is a titanium colour

They look mint but 1600 quid a pot, but you have to pay for the best, they look fantastic Jay, the colours on the TVR Tuscan really stand out.
