My Latest Detail

[VTSKris]

My first real detail other than my own car so why my dad was away i thought i would suprise him by turning his pink van back to red. The van is in abit of a state wheels kurbed etc but i knew i could make it look alot better.

This is pretty much what the whole van looked like

I cleaned and clayed the car and then was time for a test patch. I used Blackfire SRC compound on a green LC pad followed by Menz FF PO85 RD and was happy with the results.

I then added a layer of nattys blue paste as thats what i use on my own and trims were treated with AG bumper care.

Here are a few of the finnished product. Didnt get chance to take any good pics as it started to rain but an astra van isn't much to look at and you get the idea.
