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

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).

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

[quote=jonno12;185026]nice job mate you doing them from home the same as me[/quote] 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.
