    Renault Megane Cab - 1st Paid Job!

    Thanks to Andrew (Niles) I had my first paid job today

    It was just a wash,polish,wax & interior clean on a Renault Megane Cabrio.

    The paintwork was difficult to work with as it was obvious that it had a
    respray at some time due to particles in the paint.

    The whole car was also covered in scratches & swirls

    Here's a few pics of the car on arrival :-

















    The inner arches,wheels & sills were soaked in Megs Apc.
    Then the car washed washed using Megs Gold Class & a washmitt before being rinsed.

    The car was dried using Sonus drying towels.

    The wheels were cleaned using Carlack Mag Wheel Cleaner & A Megs wheel brush.

    The roof had green patches & these were treated with a mild solution of Megs Apc
    which removed around 80% & could do with doing again to be honest.

    Car all nice & reasonably clean :-

    When the car was dry,it was polished using CG Scratch & Swirl Remover on a finishing
    pad.Due to the suspect repaint,only surface scratches were removed.

    The interior was pretty clean already so just needed a vacuum.The trim was cleaned using AG Trim & Vinyl cleaner &
    CG New Look Trim Gel (this was also used on the tyres).The glass was cleaned using Megs Glass Cleaner.

    The exterior paint was treated to a couple of coats of Clearkote Yellow Moose Wax.

    Clothes used were the bargain Costo Microfibres.

    Here are the afters (shame the sun went in).























    Total work time was approx 4hrs & many thanks to my neighbour Sandra for mucking in
    with the glass & interior duties.

    Hope you enjoy the end results as much as the customer who promptly drove
    straight to show her daughter :p

    Thanks for looking

    Yes mate - she only lived a couple of miles away so it was easier
    to bring the car back to mine.

    If i get serious about this line of work i would need a van,power,water
    etc.

    So local jobs suit me on a part time basis.
