Frenchie’s 2016 STi
Well what a superb day, with a superb guy, superb car, and superb results!
Fantastic to meet you Terry and have the pleasure of working on your STi. First new shape STi I have seen and had chance to go round in the flesh - and I’m hooked! Amazingly mean looking motor, like a stealth bomber - without the stealth! Ha ha The gorgeous metallic blue and silver fleck in the deep black paintwork was just a pleasure to work on! And always nice when people are keen to help out and learn and ask questions - I am nowhere near perfect and definitely do not know probably even a 1/4 there is to know about detailing but what I do know, I’m happy to share! Usual methods used starting with the wheels and then moving on to the bodywork etc: Citrus pre clean Rinse Snow foam Rinse Iron out Snow foam Rinse Wash (two bucket method) Rinse Clay mitt Menzerna 200 medium compound polish Detail wiped down Menzerna powerlock sealant Fusso 99 Wax I hope Terry was pleased with the results - I know I was.. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e41abc861.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...927b71cca7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eed9caf076.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0f6c6276db.jpg Half way stage - machine polished to remove some fairly heavy swirl marks...

Nice job mate, you've been banging out some cars lately :lol:
Fancy a go on a white beemer? ;) :D |

Absolutely Steve! :ok: Lemme know when... |
Yes a superb day for me too. Great to meet Ryan and Aaron great guys.What a incredible job they did on my car,when finished it looked better than when I picked it up new from the garage. Ryan is an expert at detailing and patience with it. Just need to buy lots of new cleaning kit so that next time I can give it a try myself.
|
Results looking top drawer, cracking work Ryan. I’m looking forward to us getting my mini sorted, should be half the car of Terry’s Sti.
Steve, Ryan taught me the ways of handling a DA in only a matter of hours, certainly recommend you two getting together to give the Beemer a going over. |
I feel a double weekender of bmw first - then Mini to recover :lol:
|
Awesome job. Looks fantastic Terry.
|
Wow, simply amazing job. Well done.
Maybe next time I'm over in the UK I'll have to arrange for you to work that magic on mine. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |
