Dave KG의 The Big Wax Test Preparation - Day 1 Pictures

Pictures from day 1 of the preparation, and these are the seven lucky Corsas parked up and waiting...









Not the cleanest, these are just out of storage so we do have our work cut out!!







So, we picked the dirtiest of the lot to get started with:





Bird bomb anyone?



Dust?





Nothing a good wash wont sort out...





Or will it - some serious etching here:





Well - it'll polish out

The car cleaned and clayed, ready for machining:







Doesn't look too bad, maybe a little dull... under the lights, you can see a dullness to the reflections:





And the etching:



While Harry cracked on with washing Corsa No. 2, I decided to see what we were going to need - and this is where the shock came: to get that finish back to sharp needed 3M Fast Cut Plus (two hits to get rid of the bird etching!! )!! Got a sharpness back, left some light hologramming:





Cleaned up very nicely with 85RD Final Finish though, ready for wax - panel after IPA wipe:



Out in the sunlight you can see the difference the polishing has made... this car is the one Harely has just washed, no machining:









And this is the one that has been machined - you can see a sharpness returned to the paint, and a lovely gloss restored:









Indoors, we can see the difference too:

Unpolished:



Polished:



And now, the two cars sitting ready for tomorrow:







But still 5 left...
