Right and so the main reason i need a van is im launching my Detailling buisness iv been doing it for number of years now and i want more of a presence. i rarely use back seats in a car and often they are just folded down a van makes more sense i can carry my gear provide a one stop service easily and more professionally.

So i cant really go detailing cars when the van looks shit so i started on giving the van a bit of a smarten up seen as though the paint is oxidized and flat not a good look! eventually wings will get replaced and body problems sorted. But the van is being stickerd up so where the stickers go will be sorted first. Cracked on with it. First up Snow foam, then a claying over followed b a 2 step correction process using menzerna and megs compound combo on a menzerna white compound pad soon got it glossing nicely.

I then sealed it and put 2 layers of Nattys white paste wax to which theres no real point as the sign writer will wipe the panel down with alcohol wipes prior to sticker fitting. But the above process gives a good 6months protection till the stickers are on. Iv only done the front of the car to test and see how it goes but im pleased with the quick once over.




This was the general state of the body work after a clay as you can see the flat paint just holds onto contaminants and stains



Quick going over


Half decent wing reflection shot on white...


Then i sorted the bumper out with some bumper gel


Grille needs sorting may just debadge it. im in 2 minds where to go with the body work. colour coded Bumpers with Gloss black side strips, or have the whole bottom half of the car Gloss black and white wheels. will see how it goes once stickerd up

After being in the volvo im missing the simple luxuries that you have in a volvo one is lighting at night. you just open one door and the whole interior is bathed in light and so i went about doing the same in the van. ao removed the floor skirting and whacked in some lighting. kinda oem look!

Sooooo you going to have a 180hp van then you no it makes sence
