  • SAP ATTACK! car detailing and paint correction – Renault Captur

    Car Detailing Stories – The tale of the Sap Monster

    Hello All,

    Here is an account of a Renault Captur, which was brought to JM Valeting having received a severe aerial bombardment from the Sap Monster!

    Despite only being approximately 18 months old the car was covered in sap residue – mainly on the bonnet and roof – and much of which had solidified over a considerable period of time.

    I counted between 30-40 problem areas just on the bonnet and roof. And as you can see from the pictures below, the problems were severe, although the pictures do not do justice to how much the sap had ruined the overall look of the vehicle.

    The first stage of the rectification process was the obvious full wash, involving pre-rinse, snow foam, 2-bucket wash and final rinse. Following this I began the careful and slow process of ridding the car of the sap. Using a combination of all-purpose cleaners and specialist products I very gradually began to remove the affected areas one by one, taking care of the paintwork underneath in the process.

    Some time later the bulk of the sap residue had been removed, but just as I had suspected the inevitable etching had remained, as you can see from the pics below.

    A careful removal of the remaining contaminants with a clay bar was the next step, allowing the bodywork to be as smooth and contaminant-free as possible prior to machine polishing. Once complete, although the etching is still visible, at least there are no more nasties lurking around.

    The previous stages were also then carried out on the roof, which was in even worse condition than the bonnet!

    Finally, a careful machine polish was carried out on the entire bonnet and roof, leaving a deep, glossy finish, and removing additional minor scratches in the process.

    All in all, a very satisfying day’s work!

    Thanks for visiting!

    Hello All,

    Here are some pictures of a recent full-day valet carried out on a beautiful Volvo V40. As you can see from the pictures there were several areas scattered around the bodywork which required polishing and correcting. They comprised the usual offenders of grease marks, hand prints and residue from oils and other annoying substances.

    Following a multi-stage wash, clean and rinse the car then received a full polish, with special attention being paid to the affected areas. Finally a layer of wax was applied to protect the car throughout the winter.

    As you can see, despite the fact that the car required only a basic level of detailing, the results were nevertheless impressive, removing the offending areas and bring the car back to a high level of finish.

    Thanks for dropping in!

    WHAT IS DETAILING?

    Detailing is the name given to the treatment, protection and correction of your car’s bodywork and interior. It is a higher level of service than valeting and is most commonly used with reference to machine polishing, which can remove defects such as swirl marks, marring, minor scratches and dull, lifeless paintwork. The range of detailing services varies greatly, depending on the type of correction needed and/or the level of protection one wishes to apply to the bodywork. Therefore, at JM Valeting we have a variety of options to suit all budgets, from a simple spruce up of the bodywork, to paint correction and new car protection.

    OPTI-COAT PRO

    JM Valeting is one of only a handful of Pro Applicators of Optimum Polymer Technology’s Ceramic Coating in the UK. Opti-Coat is a market-leading surface coating, which is applied to your car’s existing bodywork to not only enhance the gloss and look of your vehicle, but to add a durable layer of protection against marring and natural degradation. It provides superior resistance to scratching and chemical etching and provides permanent protection for all factory paints. Once applied it never needs to be reapplied and can be used in conjunction with other waxes and sealants.

  • New Autoglym Aqua Wax service

    Hello All

    This is just a short update to announce the addition of my Aqua Wax service.

    This service can be added on to all of my existing washing services for an additional price of just £5.

    What is Aqua Wax?

    Aqua wax is a liquid wax product from one of the market leaders in car care products, Autoglym. Aqua wax is applied straight after the washing process to add a fast and tough layer of sealant to the body work.

    It can be applied over existing waxes or sealants, or simply applied to untreated bodywork to add a layer of protection in between washes.

    Aqua wax is ideal for regular washes, perfect for a quick top-up and suitable for occasional use also, adding general protection to your bodywork throughout the seasons.

    Thanks for reading
