Volvo S80 - Tidy up

[1990tom]

Hi guys :)

Got asked if I could give my neighbours pair of Volvo's a good going over before winter hit in, Obviously I jumped to it :)

Basically - They are both Volvo S80's, one gray, one gold/bronze/silver type thing, both the same spec and condition, so I wont bother uploading the seonc as its exactly the same thing!

So, the process

Wheels Rinsed with PW
AG wheel acid applied to remove bulk of brake dust - Saves my bilberry :)
Billberry applied and aggitated x2 - Not so much saving on the bilberry here
Snow foam with snowfoam and megs shampoo plus
Seals and crevases aggitated with brush and rinse
Re-foam and wash with 2bm
Rinse
Auto Gloss Rinse applied and rinsed
Dried

Interior

Mats out
Hoover
Wet-vac mats
Vents etc brushed with small detailing brush
Mats replaced

Finishing Touches

Tyres dressed with AG tyre dressing
Windows polished with AG glass polish


Job done :)

After about 40 minutes all four wheels were done as best as I could with the time - Very heavily pitted up close

Looks good.

How much did they pay you?

Should have got you chamois out and then the wax ;)

[1990tom]

Why would I want to get the chamois out when I have far superior drying towels lol

It was booked for the advanced valet including wax but snow began to fall so the last stage was cut, which was wax

I always preferred using a chamois myself, I get on much better with them, well I've never gone flat out on a car but it served my bike well.

Ohh right, fair enough then, the snow is a right pain in the arse when your half way through it.
