De-striped and detailed - 16 hour blitz

I had a bit of bad luck with some cement dust settling on the anthracite stripes and literally burning into the vinyl. The below picture shows the vinyl after a wash!



Anyway, it couldn't stay like that, so it was remove or replace time, so I removed the stripes and machine polished the whole car.

The process followed after the stripe removal was as follows:
1. Wet rinse and snow foam
2. Jet wash rinse
3. Spray whole car with Purple Rain 2.0 and rinse
4. Spray whole car with Just the Tonic and rinse
5. Wash thoroughly and jet wash rinse
6. Wipe each panel down with IPA
7. Machine polish 1x heavy cut
8. Machine polish 1x finish cut
9. Machine glaze
10. Apply Abyss & Project 32


Results

















Oh and a final word of warning! Don't buy Meguiars DMC pads. Absolute rubbish.
