micro fibre washed down,

snow foamed,

rinced,

micro fibre towel dried, 

DA polished using Menz 4500, panel at a time and buffed up with micro fibre noodle mitt and micro fibre cloth

then waxed it used MER (as I wanted something easy to apply and polish/buff off).

AutoFinesse Finale detail spray on teh wrap roof, as its wax free and leaves a matt finish.

'Mothers' Tyre Shine.

 

 

 

 

engine bay cleaned up and polished with autoglym Vinyl/Rubber spray cleaner.

 

 

 

 

Really pleased how the R205 rear defusser spolier looks that I fitted on Monday last week.

 

 

 

Plates back on.. ready for a drive :)

 

 

 

thanks for looking

[Gambit]

Looks spot on mate worth the time. Not that I can imagine your car ever dirty, it always looks so clean anyway :) 

[Scooby Pete]

Looks good. Out of interest what DA where you using?

You'd think white would show the dirt worse than black :( I washed mine last weekend and it looks a state already :(

[Gambit]

Had white and black cars black was always the worst :( 

[JusNoGood]

Had white and black cars black was always the worst :(

Agree...but looks the best when clean

[Gambit]

I agree :)

[Scooby Pete]

Silver is prob the best at masking dirt, then looking amazing when it's clean as you never think it's that dirty :D

Been mulling over a DA for awhile,now but as you say it's a minefield when it comes to DA pads and polishes.

I think my next buy will be a 6mx3m pop up gazebo ala dent man tent so I can do work on the car when the weather is too hot or raining.

£89.00 from argos.

Looks Very Nice.

 

 

A job well done. :)

[Jay762]

really great example of nice detailing :)

[Jordzilla]

Just seen this, looks awesome! :-)

What alloys are those? And are they 18"? They look absolutely class! Thinking of changing mine, I have the anthracite grey prodrive GT1's at the moment but they are knackered up, so would like to change them!

Thanks.

[salsa-king]

alloys are Prodrive GT2's 19".

 

 

 

TBH I'm not that happy with the paint work on the car, I can see scratches in it, so will have to go over the car again with a dencer Hex Pad (orange) and a thicker compound, the Menz 400. and see if I can improve it. As last week I only polished up with a Black Hex finishing pad and Menz 4500 finishing polish.

 

Think I might be going a bit OCD on the slight scratches I see though, but they do annoy me. when you think how clean and waxed the car is they are letting it down.

 

 

 

DA Daz6Pro polisher off detailing World at £99 is a great price Pete

Beautiful car there mate!

[salsa-king]

cheers,

 

 

2nd coat of wax went on tonight.

 

 

 

marks on the spoiler bug me, but without going mad with a polisher.. which I'd end up polishing all the paint off, they'll have to stay there lol...................... rest of the car looks ok though   ;)
