Bugatti Veyron - Zymol Royale Wax treatment (56K XXX WARNING!)

[dpg]

This was the Bugatti that James May had driven to the max on top gear and had therefore racked up a few miles.....

30,000+ to be exact....

*Zymol Royale famous wax costs $13000 each stick!!!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture3.jpg

It became pretty apparent that this car needed some work doing to it as you can see this was upon the first inspection...

CITRUS DEGREASER

The first thing he did was to citrus degrease the car paying special attention to the wheels and tyres which were in quite a bad state inside....

He knew this was going to be hard work as the inner dimensions of the wheel were at least 20" deep and i could not possibly reach all the way in..

They were also quite badly tared..

The cost of a single Bugatti tyre comes in at £5000 although they will sell four for £17000.

They are high speed tyres specifically designed for the Veyron measuring 265-68R 500 A on the front and 365-71 R 540 A on the rear....

They are also run flats....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture6.jpg

The tyres also have a specific PAX system fitted ensuring safe handling after dramatic pressure loss...

WASH

Next was the wash..

Using the 2 bucket method he then continued to wash the car using zymol sponges...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture10.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture11.jpg

He then decided this was a good time to start the wheels so using 2 different size brushes started to clean in the grooves of the rims...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture12.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture14.jpg

There were certain areas that he used a special tar remover that was safe to the wheels but removed all traces inside the rims...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture12-1.jpg

Once washed He sprayed the car off paying particular attention to seals and undercarriage...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture15.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture16.jpg

CLAYING

Next he decided to clay the car.....

Using a Zymol claybar and clay lube of his own then raise the rear spoiler again so he could get into all the nook and crannies at the rear...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture17.jpg

He then started claying the car...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture18.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture19.jpg

The car needed claying badly...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture20.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture21.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture22.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture23.jpg

PAINT DEFECTS

Now the car was dry and clean it gave him a good chance to get a proper chance to see how bad the car was........I think James May may have washed it at some stage with a 1950,s sponge he has in his shed....

It wasnt pretty for such a beautiful car....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture24.jpg

Infact for such a beautiful car and the fact they are not short of a million pounds i was gobsmacked...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture25.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture26.jpg

He then spotted a really bad and quite deep scratch across the rear panel which he said would need special treatment on it......

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture27.jpg

PAINTWORK READINGS

He then decided to check the paint depth across the car and found that it was pretty consistent at around 180 microns across the board and did not need uploading to laptop.....He expected this as the other Bugattis he has done were identical........You pays your money you get perfection!!!

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture28.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture29.jpg

MASKING UP

Next was masking.....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture30.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture32.jpg

He was particularly fussy about the Bugatti badge and made me redo it twice as he was insistent that the badge be masked side aswell and not touch the paintwork...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture31.jpg

Now the car was masked up he started what he does best....

PAINTWORK CORRECTION

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture44.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture45.jpg

He worked his way round the car...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture48.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture49.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture50.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture51.jpg

He left a patch of light unmasked as he wanted to test before doing rear and headlight correction!

SPECIAL TREATMENT

He inspected the bad scratch and decided that he would wet sand it by hand rather than machine.....

He said that he needed to get the scratch out without damaging the paintwork and then correct it so the area looked untouched....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture36.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture35.jpg

He then wetsanded...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture37.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture38.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture39.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture40.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture41.jpg

A final buffing..

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture42.jpg

And the scratch was gone....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture43.jpg


MACHINE POLISHING

As you can see these are the half and half test shots he did..

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture46.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture47.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture33.jpg

ENGINE BAY

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/IMG_0829.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture54.jpg

Lets put it this way:

The veyron is electronically limited to 253 mph.....

It will only take the engine 12 minutes to drink all the fuel when the car is running flat out...

It takes 2.5 seconds to get to 60 from a standstill and only 7 to get to 125 mph.......

INFACT this is such an awesome engine that if a Maclaren F1 raced past at 120 mph and the bugatti was standing still the bugatti from a standing start at full acceleration would beat the Maclaren F1 to 200 mph....UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!

The seven speed DSG transmission can handle 1106 lb ft more than the Veyron developes.....

Oh and if you can afford one the fuel bill at full pelt is astronomical as it gets 2.3 mpg........Fantastic!!!!

Anyway onto this wonderful engine.....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture55.jpg

This W16 alloy engine developed by Bugatti for the Veyron 16.4 has a special place in history as its design employs a space saving VR principle with 2 slender eight cylinder blocks arranged at a 90 degrees angle to each other.......

The aluminium was quite badly tarnished and needed some work on it....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture58.jpg

HD CLEANSE

The next stage was to hd cleanse the car ready for the zymol Royale....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture59.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture60.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture61.jpg

Then onto wax....

WAXING ZYMOL ROYALE

Now the car was ready for the Royale...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture62.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture63.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture64.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture65.jpg

The car was looking absolutely fantastic and the two tone black and dark green was showing a massive contrast of hue...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture66.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture67.jpg

INTERIOR

Just look at this attention to detail...

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture69.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture70.jpg

The radio was out of this world and someone loves shine fm?

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture71.jpg

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture72.jpg

Just look at these pedals and they feel even funnier under foot......

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture73.jpg

And the seats....

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/vxrmarc/Bugatti%20Veyron/Picture74.jpg
