#valeting — Public Fediverse posts

Cooler today (only 25°C) so did exterior #valet of #Vauxhall / #Opel #Corsa - started with #snowfoam mix of Autoglym Polar Blast + BiltHamber Surfex HD at 10% (wouldn't normally use anything as heavy as that but you can see state car was in previously!)

Contact wash with CarPro Reset. No pics of snowfoam due to working fast because heat!

Single stage polish with Koch Chemie 3.01 mild compound+carnuba #wax, cheap cordless DA (compatible with #Makita batteries) and orange pad that came with it.

I'm fairly new to machine #polishing and didn't use best technique and too much polish (though some on YT recommend keeping pad saturated when working in hot weather to prevent polish drying out, and this seemed to work, #bodywork on this #car far from perfect anyway!)

Wanted to get out of house but not deal with heat/crowds so did a bit more #valeting

Cleaned up #engine bay and tested against #WaterIngress - mechanic must have refreshed / checked seals on brake cylinder bulkhead (where water gets in) / or unblocked the drains (leaves and other muck stops them up) as I poured in 6 litres of water where rain would go and none of it got inside the #car

Everyone will be happy to see this back on the road, there's more demand for #automatic #cars than manual ones from our current staff (many of them are from Commonwealth countries where #driving with #AutomaticGearboxes is more popular)

Not the most refined but better than the other #Easytronic 'box in the other Corsa we had..

Finally a day when it was not pissing down nor below zero, so took the opportunity to do a maintenance wash on the #VWPolo to clear a months worth of winter grime #CarDetailing #Valeting #AutoDetailing #Detailing
