Well the generous winning bidder was NMS member 'Shaunbhoy67'
Shaun and I decided that it was best to leave the car until March due to the horrific weather we had this winter.

The car was left with me for a weekend and recieved the following

Under arches with megs super degreaser in the same mannor as the engine and checks
Wheels with autosmart smart wheels non acidic then de-tarred with tardis

de-tarred with tardis
clayed with megs fine clay
Interior thorough vacuum with the Henry
seats, carpet mats and boot shampooed and extracted with the George
All interior plastics cleaned with G101
All interior plastics dressed with poorboys natural look dressing
leather conditioned with raw hide conditioner
glass polished inside with autoglym glass polish
car single stage machine polish enhancement with Menzerna 302S mixed with dodo lime prime on a 3M black pad at about 1600rpm. (This doesnt offer anywhere like full correction but it certainly helps take out the light scratches and swirls and restores a good shine)
Cleansed with Zymol HD Cleanse by hand all over car paintwork inc door checks and shuts
Car body and all exterior glass except front screem waxed with collinite 915
Front screen polished with jeffs prime strong

The swirls before

The door has been machine polished as has the first bit of the rear 1/4, hard to pick up though as was using the iphone

The left of the bonnet has been done, from the start of the scoop heading right it is still do be done. You han see that the swirls catch the light and make the blue paint appear kind of greyish
