    Did this one today.

    A well kept car but not washed properly I am afraid. The customer would like me to get rid of some of these.

    The wheels were already very clean so just a spray with Megs APC and EZ brush.
    A wash using CG Wash and Gloss and dry using Sonus Drying towels.

    Clay with Bilt Hamber Soft Clay, I was amazed at the amount of dirt on the bonnet. This chap owns a restaurant and I assume this dirt was from the extactor.

    Rinse, dry again and on with some polishing. Used Menz. IP on a Sonus white pad which seemed to do the trick. Not perfect but a second pass after these shots was much better.

    Klasse AIO on a finishing pad was as far as I got, it was not going to be long before a dew settled so I left it for another day to wax. Its garaged and is a weekend toy so no probs leaving it.

    Tyres dressed with Megs Endurance Gel. Black Wow to plastics, Mark V Window Sheen to glass. Autobalm on the alloys.


    Think that's it. Thanks for reading this far!



    Finished...


    Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, Autoglym Hi Def. Wax, Zaino Z8.
