Series1 RS Turbo detailed by Distinctive Detailing

[craig@dd]

I was contacted by a customer I had already done a previous detail for, to detail a purchase he made last summer but had not done anything with.
The car is a series 1 RS turbo that has 85k and is in exceptional condition with this being a non custom the paint was very thin to start with and had previously been buffed to death by previous owners.

On arrival

Time to scrub

once washed it was inside to clay and inspect

time to strip it down, ready to machine polish

after

while the lights was out it was time to give the inner wings etc a clean

while it was in bits the customer asked me to fit clear protection film on all the spats and spotlights

a quick clean

remove previous polish left by last person

gone

grille and all lights back in plus windscreen wipers etc

Time to do the wheels and have a look underneath, this car has never been welded and all the sills and chasis rails are straight as an arrow its been jacked up properly in the past

gave the exhaust a polish too

so onto the inside; all original stickers are still in there

The door handles in this shot were not the same on both doors so I adjusted them to be symetrical

A switch mount I made to house the Clifford valet switch as the alarm fitter left it hanging on the 2 wires

and some finished shots

thanks for looking craig

you've got to love a good RS
