I thought this would be a nice car to show with the Retro Rides gang
This one was quite a big deal for me
I've been a huge rally fan since I was a kid, and they don't come much cooler than the dominating Lancia Detla.
This Integrale HF Turbo has had a relaxing lifestyle for the last 10 or so years, being sat waiting to be driven and collecting dust and minor marks while being stored away.
To refresh the car, an Enhancement Detail was chosen.
Full safe wash and decontamination,
Single stage machine polish,
Gtechniq protection for body work and glass.
On arrival, it was just dusty with built up grime in the more tricky areas.

The wheels were cleaned before the embedded brake dust was removed with AF Iron Out,

2 hits with snow foam - with all rubbers and tight gaps being aggitated on the second foaming.

There was some adhesive on the bonnet from an old number plate.
This was safely removed.

Inside - showing the Audi that 4WD hot hatches are nothing new

The car was clayed and ready for polishing.
The aim was to improve the swirling and minor marks while preserving paint for the future.
Before and after machine polishing.
