First time I've polished it since owning it, owned it for about 2 months. Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo & Autoglym Deep Shine polish were used. Turned out pretty good for a 1st attempt I think. Will wax it using Autoglym product next time, or any suggestions as to what Wax I should use? Thankspost-109055-0-11566400-1363596703_thumb.jpgpost-109055-0-10217500-1363596763_thumb.jpg

Detailed a Porsche Panamera Turbo.

An Amazing Car. It was a US import and had a lot of fall out on the car and poor maintenance of the paint.

Didnt get any good shots pre detail due to it belting with rain and iphone poor quality.

Process:

Foam Wash

Wheel Treatment

Clay Bar

2.5 Stage Polish

- IP2000 Purple Pad

- IP2000 White Pad

- SF4000 Blue Pad

AMMO Skin Sealant

AMMO Creme

Huge thanks to the guys at RDA for giving me the opertunity to detail such an amazing car. Check out their web site for all your brake needs.

love your work as always Matt :thumbsup:

I did an old Saab today...I wont lie this thing had amazing duco on it already but it was badly scratched, no doubt from bad washing procedures...

only had a few hours with it unfortunately so a 2 stage polish and wax was all I could do..

I did have a brief ponder about buying a four door SAAB a couple of months ago before getting the 35. Especially with the prices going low now... but love my Nissans too much

Here is some beadage after a wash today, its wearing a three month old coat of Optimum Spray Wax

Waxed with Eagle One Nanowax and then waxed again with Mother cuts and polish and then lightly buffed - overall time took under 30 mins to do.

.nah wasnt that....its the wax then cut then polish...seems kind of backwards....looks alright though...:rofl:

Yes that's accurate.

Was still having a dumb moment..... It was a trial and error.

so you're saying you removed the wax with the cut and polish :P

Yeah totally :P Edited by Ants

    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
    • I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
