Pickup Day
I picked up the car yesterday. Mileage: 61598. The weather was great, and it was the perfect day to get to work on a short detail session. It's actually a rather small car, without a lot of surface details which I can find makes a really good detail job tricky. So, the process yesterday was:
- Scrub wheels (a quick once-over to keep the car wash water from getting too dirty)
- Peel back convertible top, and hand-clean areas that are usually covered
- Wash car
- Redo wheels, dress tires with tire dressing
- Machine polish (fine cut - the body is in really good shape overall for the age of the car)
- Wax & Buff
- Redo vinyl trim with dressing
I also inflated the spare tire, and cleaned that wheel as well.
Here is the final result (My daughter gets the cameo, as she was really helpful with the buffing).
Enjoy!
