Stoo's Megane R26 - The 'HO'
Hey up guys.
New car, New Project
Bought it last weekend.
Vowed im not going to go mad on this one, but you know what its like
Anyhow, first up, BIIIIG Detail - By hand!
Took my time with it, over 2 and 1/2 days
I dont have all the all singing all dancing equipment yet, but i did the best i could with what i had.
First i gave it a good rinse with the hose to get rid of as much dust and dirt as i could.
Then i washed it using a lambswool mit, single bucket with grit guard.
Dried using a megs water magnet drying towel.
While i was at it, i de-badged the rear, because i was getting fed up of catching the lettering with cloths!!! Hot water and a credit card FTW!
The paint isnt toooo bad, few minor scratches here and there, minor swirling too. Hopefully i can get these out with a machine polish, when i get it!
After that, gave the whole car a good clay using Megs smooth surface kit.
Used the QD as lube.
Even on a black car i could see the tar all over it!
Just a quick pass on the bottom of the drivers door!!!
Then over the next hours, used Stage 1 & 2 of the Megs 3 Stage system.
Finished it up with the Megs Gold Class Wax - 3 Coats in total.
Used the Megs applicator pads and Megs MF cloths to finish.
Pretty impressed with the results, some nice reflections and alot less minor scratches and swirls
Gave the wheels a good clean with Megs Quick Detailer and an old MF.
I find it shifts the dirt really well and leaves a nice finish
Also used a bit of Megs Tyre Shine Gel - Not much, just enough. I dont like glossy looking tyres!!
Also clayed the glass work, and used Megs Glass Cleaner to make them gleam.
Gave the interior a reet good hoover and a wipe down with trim detailer.
And i attempted to attack the tailpipes with some AutoGlym Metal Polish.
