Washed the car and rinsed.
then using water only as the lubricant used the BH autoclay. Best clay bar I've used so far holds up much better than the Meguiars and Sonus (green) that i've used in the past.

Dried the car then gave it a blast with the air gun thing. Allan took front and rear light rings off and the side indicator scuttles.

We both taped the car up.

I didn't get involved after this point.

Allan then DA polished the car. First time he has done this.

It's not up to the same mark as a professional that's for sure but we both felt what was done this time round was a learning curve, it certainly makes for a much better job than polishing by hand and gives a better foundation for applying the products that make the paint pop. Still got a long way to go learning re paint correction and that kinda stuff but I'm chuffed this far.

Not to bore you all to death

so quickly on to the car being QD down after the day spent with DA polisher glaze being applied then the jetseal followed.

Then on to the wax applied yesterday and again this morning. Supernatural rocks by the way

I then done Wheels with QD and thought I would try some blackwow on the tyres windows done leather done interior plastic done blah blah blah.

Results not bad reflection (which is difficult to capture) for the pepper white colour imho of course.
















and the best till last. not only good reflection shot but also lets you see just how crisp and clean the paint is as smooth as a babies bottom imho.


a bit of a blur but my arms were aching.

Oh and I took this pictures just so you can see how quickly dust can land on the car which is why I hate detailing outside although it gets in the garage to.

I always have my zymol california duster to hand and would recommend it to anyone great for giving the car a wee dust down (won't scratch) every few minutes while detailing.

3.5 Days i,m hoping to do mine next week, but, only one day

only because we wanted to layer the wax leaving 24 hours between each layer or it would have taken 2 and a bit days.

Bucket sponge and garden hose
