OK, so it's not a Porsche, so I hope the mods leave it on anyway, as I know a few of you are becoming detailing perverts. :lol:
A few weeks ago I went down to the Le Mans classic with a pal in his MK3 GT40 replica. He'd bought it after the previous Le Mans classic where we were totally in awe of the real GT40's. It's a bit of a shed, but, it's got a 5 litre Ford Windsor block in it and is as scarey and horrible to ride in as the real thing! 8)
Its been sat in his workshop for a long time and was looking like a barn find! My job was to get it ready for Le mans. So at 09:00 on teh saturday morning I reversed it out of the unit and into the sunshine to view the task in hand. It was filthy!!
So the first job was a thorough snow foam and a long time for it to dwell.
And after a gentle rinse it already looked better.
Next job was to wash the wheels. I gave each one a blast with neat APC, a good tickle with the detailing brush, a rinse and then a coat of Trix. Here you can see what happens to Trix when its left for a while, the iron that is removing starts to cause purple streaks
