Afternoon.
The WC50 for those that dont know is basically another special edition costing about £31k with all the toys on the inside and some carbon and black bits on the outside
The fun part is that these are 'hand painted and finished' in Connaught Green.
The Connaught Green is non metallic and actually pretty soft and on this car.. very thin! 80-90um so I didn't chase every single deep mark which was frustrating.
On arrival at 8am
Usual wash process:
Acid free wheels
Megs Hyper wash foam
Megs Shampoo wash
Clayed with Souns mild blue. Quite a lot of contamination for such a new car
Polishing was done with Menz IP3.02 in some areas, Menz 203S in others and then refined with Menz 106FA on a DA polisher.

The vinyl stripe was polished as well which brought out lots of dirt as you can see (sort of) in this 50/50 shot.
Top half polished and cleaner / bottom half un touched and actually quite dirty.
Polishing took ages for such a small car. I was applying Blackfire paint sealant to each panel as I went round and buffing off after 5-10 minutes. When the whole car was complete it was then given a coat of Vintage wax.
This was left to cure for a while while the wheels were sealed and tyres were dressed, plastics dressed and glass cleaned.
And the finished shots...
