As promised, the small write up for the Holden Monaro!
This car was a weekend warrior slash track car fitted with a nice set of Simmons Wheels with Harrop Brakes hugging underneath!
The paintwork was in quite a state as you can see below; full of contaminants, tar/rubber marks, stone chips and
of course the lovely spiderwebs! However we like to see cars like this come through as we enjoy the challenge and more so the result for us and the customer is so rewarding.
Doesn't look that bad? No lights on yet though!

We started with the usual Autobrite Citrus Wash APC + AB Magifoam (Snowfoam) (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/autobrite/supa_snow_foam_) on the AB Snowfoam Lance (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/autobrite/ab_snow_foam_lance) and
allowed this to dwell on the paint for a few minutes to pull any product that was previously used and clean the paint up.
The result after washed under our "Daylight Detailing Bay" was this;

Next we used Tar, Film & Adhesive Remover (TFR) (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/dodo_juice/crudzilla_concentrate) to remove small pieces of tar found on the skirt, sills, doors and so forth.
The arches also needed a good clean, so once again with a strong dilution of the APC (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/mint/apc) and the Vikan Wheel & Arch Brush (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/vikan/wheel_and_arch_brush) followed with a good pressure wash.

Car was rewashed to remove any TFR from the paintwork, followed with Wolfs Chemicals Decon Gel (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/wolfs_chemicals/brake_duster_wheel_cleaner) to pull off any carbon fall out over
the paintwork as well as the wheels. Decon Gel was left on the paint for approx 10-15m where it started to bleed and pull off
all the excess carbon contaminants. As you can imagine a fair bit came off the paint!
