TVR gets a makeover - Gleaming Kleen

그닥 도움될만한 흥미거리가 없어, 번역 패스~~
폴리싱은 Meg패드로 Menz 85RD 3.02 => 106FF => 85RD 로 했다는 말뿐이고....
휠에는 Blackfire...

Owner recently bought this vehicle and wanted some work done on it to bring it up to a high standard and change a few things on the car.

First up was to change the colour of the leather, it was a horrible dingy grey and client requested a much lighter colour so a creame dye was used. Seats, center console, dash board and rear deck were all sprayed to the new colour. This took alot of time as alot of masking up was needed so I didnt document this part of the detail that much..

Here you can see the difference between the original grey colour and the new creame colour. The cream certainly looking much better IMO


The dash board was PITA as the windscreen sat very tightly to the dash so was unable to get any dye onto this area so I had to get an professional installer to come and remove this. The plan was to remove the windscreen and then re-install but after making a few phone calls it was clear a new windscreen would more than likely be needed as they are under so much pressure and fit very tightly that 95% of the time when removed they shatter. So a new windscreen was ordered from TVR just incase the worst happened..and yes it did shatter...

Here you can just see where there is no coverage of the dye




and after


Luckly the rear window is only held in by clips so was easily removed which allowed to me to get good coverage


Few finished shots of the leather




The next thing the owner wanted changed was the colour of the wheels from silver to anthracite so they were given a FULL refurb

BEFORE


AFTER:


This pic is of one of the front wheels after it was fully stripped, you can see the cracks around the wheel nut holes....more than likely from over tightening so a new wheel was ordered to replace it.


Wheels were given a few coats of BlackFire for protection


Arches and suspension giving a very good clean




Wheel hubs and nuts were looking a bit sorry so these were sanded back, primed, painted and laquared.....same colour as the wheels








Paint correction was carried out using Menz 3.02 on a megs polishing pad, I then followed this up with Menz 1066ff and finishing with 85rd
























































The bonnet was removed to allow me to machine polish areas that otherwise would have not






Paintwork was then refined with Menz 85rd








Once all machine stages were complete Swissvax cleaner fluid was applied and removed and then car recieved its first coat of wax


In all 3 coats of Swissvax Best of Show were applied over 3 days




Some afters on a overcast evening




















Just when I thought it was all over client had another thought and wanted the front grill sprayed the same colour as the wheels. This was easily removed and taken to the bodyshop.


















A very enjoyable detail in all and I personally think all the changes made sit very well with the car, especially the leather.
