Bonjour,
Par manque de temps terrible, je ferais une première version de ce detail en anglais. Aussi, par respect pour le propriétaire qui est anglophone, je vais utiliser la langue anglaise, n’hésitez pas par contre à poser des questions.
Sur ce,
Bon visionnement
So here it is, my first GTR detailed. We all love a Ferrari, a TT Gallardo or wish to detail a veyron right? But when it comes to sub 100k car, I think the GTR was clearly my #1 most wanted car to detail! I already had to chance to touch and have a close look at other GTRs in the past but nothing like having one in your workplace for 2 days doing your thing haha. I’m already taking appointment for 2 others GTRs so thing are doing well and just hope to see more and more popping.
The owner picked up this car used. It’s red so scratches show up easily. He looked at other REDG GTR getting detailed and told me he was looking for showroom result. We spoke in august. Time past ( he go to meet and get offered by tons of others detailers to have a spin on his car, I really appreciated his solidarity to me) and we can’t fix an appointment (either me or him can’t work the car for 2 days). So he come up and tell me since winter is approaching that he would prefer a normal 2-step detail job. I told him, I rather leave him my car for 2 days than having to ‘’rush’’ one of my most anticipating detail of the year. And as you will know later on, I should’ve of kept the car for 3 days! Hint: the clear coat is VERY HARD.
What more to say? I think its time to present you the car and my work!
Process:
Please refer to my intro thread under my signature to understand what the ‘’showroom’’ package include but basicly you leave me the car for 20-30 hours and I do whatever is needed with whatever products I feel is best for the job. In this package, nothing is more important than the end-result. I ask for your trust in return I give you showroom result.
At arrival:
Dusty, scuff this and there, little stain, nothing too major!
Car is dirty but not in bad shape either. Just need a very good cleaning. So I start up with an air compressor. This will remove as much debris as I could where it would be impossible to vacuum and have access. Also, by removing these debris, you also reduce the chance of scratching the leather and other fragile fabric inside while scrubbing with brush.
Time to take out the set of RACEGLAZE brushes. These brush are made of boar hair and are very soft and when agited, they can foam up pretty well which help a lot to get debris stuck under crevice.
I then realised the sticky residu in the back-windows. A good glue remover will take care of this in a breeze:
Just need a good windows cleaning now.
Here come RACEGLAZE Alcantara cleaner; I chosed this cleaner because it’s a very soft cleaner that I know won’t warm the fabric. Also, since it’s the first gtr I’m detailing, I wanted to play safe with the material of the seat. This cleaner also contains bacterie-killer which sanitize the fabric and at the same time can kill bad odors.
I also used Raceglaze Leather cleaner to clean the leather insert. Still using a horse hair brush in order to not warm the soft material. This brush do little miracles
After this is done, I pass the extractor everywhere I can in order to give the cleanest feeling possible. This machine is a must for professional interior cleaning. It’s not just about shopvacuuing but these machines are made to have as much water-lift as possible so the interior can be as dry as possible. Having a dry interior is not just a cool-thing but I’ve seen lots of seat getting destroyed because the foam got too humid and the clue can delaminated also. It also spray a hot water solution using a high pressure pump that does a way better job at cleaning than a simple spray-bottle water jet.
Once this is done, it’s time to clean the carpet and let them dry. I then use RACEGLAZE Color enhance on all trims and seal because this stuff will last for months not just weeks. I’m highly impress with this stuff. IMO, this is one of the best 3 products raceglaze do!
After, I live to use a water-based dressing with uv protector to protect dash and card board to try out and discolour. When all this is done, its time to wipe down windows and finally spray a bacteria-killer spray that will eliminate odors and not just mask them with cheap fresh odor spray. Sure, it doesn’t smell as pretty as the fresh odor deodorant spray but at least it really works!
And there ya go; the end result: a clean interior:
I always try to polish as much as I can the plastic screen to give a more finished touch:
And heres the leftover water after the leather cleaning and extractor:
The exterior and engine bay portion is to be followed later on!
