Mango Citroen Saxo Detail

[AndyWRX]

This is my mates mango saxo she asked me to give it a spruce up ready for sale so i decided to go the whole 9 yards and do a paint correction and do some final touch up bits the next day

Heres what i used:
Snow foam and karcher pressure washer
Megs gold class shampoo
Chemicial guys maxi suds 2
Megs clay Bar
Megs last touch detailer
Sonus der wunder drying towel
Sonus cutting polish
Sonus yellow pad
Chemicial guys polish, selant and glaze
Chemicial guys wet mirror finish
Petes 53 wax
Megs fast glass
Billberry wheel cleaner
Megs metal polish
Poorboys natural look

Heres some before pics before i started, the saxo had been sitting a while because my mate was enjoying her new car





First the saxo was given a good soak in snow foam and maxi suds II then washed with megs gold class shampoo ready for claying.





After the shampoo was rinsed off the saxo was clayed with megs clay, then given another treatment of snow foam and washed with gold class again, the clay was quite bad at the end but it left the paint virtually contaminate free, even just after the clay you can see the difference in the paint finish, the saxo was then dried with the sonus dur wonder drying towel





Once dry the saxo was masked up to protect any arears that could be damaged by the g220, it was then paint corrected using the g220, sonus cutting polish and the yellow sonus pad, here are some 50/50 and progress shots

The spoiler had faded quite abit for some reason so i decided to attack that too, bit of an awkward shape but this really shows what a difference paint correction makes
Before

50/50



After the paint correction i machined a layer of chemicial guys polish, selant and glaze then a layer of chemicial guys wet mirror finish and applyed 2 coats of petes 53 wax.

The light was fading so i decided to call it aday, Then on the second day the tyres were dressed and all plastic parts with poorboys natural look and metal bits with megs metal polish, i also cleaned the glass inside and out with megs fast glass.

Heres the finished product after day one




The final shots after the second day











I think the saxo turned out really well and the paint looks better than when it came out the dealers, there are some bits ive missed out like the wheel clean and there was a scuff on the bumper that was machined out, but now there isnt a mark on it and looks stunning.
