A completely transformed Morgan Roadster after spending a week with me in the detailing bay.

Firstly, all areas of the car were cleaned and decontaminated (tar, industrial fallout, tree sap etc. removed), then brought inside where it was dried and inspected.

All deeper scratches were wet-sanded to reduce them, or get rid of them completely. 1500/2000 grit was used first, then refined with 3000 grit, then polished out. The paint depth was regularly measured during this process to ensure the paint didn't get sanded through!

All paintwork then received a 2-stage machine polish. First stage with an aggressive compound to remove any sanding marks and swirl marks, then a finishing polish to remove the slight marring left by the heavy compound and boost the gloss.

Auto Finesse Illusion wax was then used to give the car that little extra shine, as well as some protection from the elements for a few months.

All chrome/stainless pieces were polished and protected.

All interior surfaces were cleaned, and all leather conditioned to keep it nice and soft.

For any detailing enquiries, please email - ashley@williamsautomobiles.com, call - 01454 315112, or pop in for a chat.

More pictures of this car can be found on the Williams Automobiles Facebook Page.


Very bad swirl marks!



Right is before machine polishing, left is after



Sill before...



...and after

I met Ashley at the Blenheim palace run last year - he was working on the williams Matt 4/4 - nice chap!

He was using Pro Products ( of course!) with no brand name.

No I never really use any 3M stuff. On this one I used Koch Chemie cleaning products and compounds/polishes, and Auto Finesse finishing products.
