Last weekend the owner of this Honda Accord treated his new purchase to a day at the spa as it was neglected from its previous owner.
First, the wheels were cleaned using a range of brushes and chemicals to clean off all the brake dust and road grime. Next, the lower portions of the car was covered in a pre-wash degreaser to help break down and remove the more stubborn deposits embedded in the paint before being rinsed off. The paint was then smothered in a nice soapy snow foam to further help break down any other contaminates on the paint and safely remove them before the contact wash. During, the contact wash the 2 bucket method is used to decrease to chance of re-introducing scratches and swirls to the paint.
Before, the paint correction stage the paint need to be decontaminated. This process is important because it will remove the remaining contaminates on the paint, even the things that aren't able to be seen with the naked eye. In this process tar remover was applied to the paint and wheels and left too dwell. By leaving the tar remover to dwell, it allows larger amounts of tar to be broken down to a point where we can come along with a microfibre towel and wipe it all away. Following this, Iron X from CarPro was used to break iron filings on the paint. Finally, the paint was clay barred to remove the last of the contamination.
Going in to the paint correction stage with the goal to remove oxidation and light/medium scratches and swirls we used a various range of polishers, pads, compounds and polishes that restored the paint back to its former glory. To increase the gloss and apply 3-6 months protection to the paint, glass and wheels a spray sealant was applied. To wrap the spa day up the exterior plastics and wheels were dressed.
At the end of the day this 2007 Honda Accord left feeling pampered and beautiful, ready to cruise the streets.
