Alfa Romeo 159 Exterior Detail Part 2: Polishing, Waxing, & Finishing Touches | Classic Torque Steer
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Welcome back to the Alfa Romeo 159 exterior detail series! 🚘 In Part 2, we’re diving into polishing, waxing, and putting the finishing touches to make this car shine like a gem. This 17-year-old beauty hasn't been cleaned in six months, so in Part 1, we tackled the bodywork and decontamination. If you haven't seen Part 1, check out the pop-out banner above before returning to this video.
Today, we'll:
✨ Polish those iconic six headlights for a bright, fresh look.
✨ Reduce swirl marks using the Auto Finesse Triple glaze and polish combo for that sleek finish.
✨ Use a precision touch-up pen to restore the bodywork, focusing on the rear wheel arches to address stone chips.
✨ Protect everything with a layer of Auto Finesse Fusion wax.
There's still more to come! I’m saving the wheels for a separate detailing session to ensure they're done right. In the next episode, we'll work on the wheels and tackle some mechanical tasks to give this Alfa the ultimate refresh.

Always good to have a detailing video on a Friday. Would love to see longer videos on the detailing :)
Wow! Such an improvement. I'm still trying to get up the nerve to machine polish mine. One observation, round the wheel arch has a protective film. If you had removed this, there might have been less touch up required. Great job, keep up the great work.
Beautiful car and your attention to detail is great as ever. Nice to see an older Alfa that isn't full of rust :)
Good to see this masterpiece again .by the way reading your other comment all cars rush not just alfa,s
the car looks way better now mate
Great work and video Luke.
I love these, such beautiful design even now.
Trademark Torque Steer job, making an older car look very nice again! Reminds me of all those cars you've detailed before, the A4, A3, a BMW 1 I think? The Mustang etc all came out very nicely. I think the A3 was the toughest job back in the day, you did a two stage job and rented a place with a car hoist if I remember correctly? Now all that remains is to change the broken damper in the back and you can drive this beauty right?
Hello Luke, amazing results on your Alfa Romeo 159,with the products and the DA used the paintwork looks glossy.great trick with the marker for the chips.
Always like the159 tS, its such a nice car. Sadly I couldn't find a good example ( and most importantly at a reasonable price) when I change car 4 years ago. Hopefully this one will serve you well for many years (unless it helps you to switch to a better car XD)
Looks awesome. Always liked these 159s I found one in my local scrappy such a shame looked a looked after car had eibach springs on it too.

Shame. They’re rare now. I’m hoping nice ones get preserved.
Tripple is a great product
Hello from Germany. A tip: Koch Chemie is pronounced like you would pronounce a Scottish Loch but with K. Any Germans watching would be winching 😂😂 but then they struggle with many words in English.
👍👍
