The car before I start
I cleaned the wheels using the bilberry wheel cleaner and various wheel brushes, the bilberry got the worst of the muck off just leaving some small tar spots to be removed by the Tardis and a microfibre cloth.
I started by giving the lower parts of the car a coat of the valet pro orange pre wash, which was left to dwell before being pressure washed off. The car was then given its first coat of snow foam made up of the valet pro PH neutral snowfoam and a shot of Meg’s hyper wash The snowfoam was then blasted off with the pressure washer, and then the car was given another coat of the same mix snowfoam and whilst this was still on the car I washed it using Meg’s hyper wash and the 2 bucket method and a lambswool wash mitt. The car was then rinsed off using a open ended hose and before claying the lower parts of the car and inner arch lips where sprayed with Tardis which was left to do its stuff before being wiped down with a microfibre cloth.
The car was clayed using citrus bling and water mix( 10 to 1) and a I4 detailing clay bar which didn’t really pull much from the paint work it was then rewashed using the same method and dried using a Uber microfiber drying towel.
Car was then taped up using 3m masking tape, a couple of quick 50/50 using the lime prime and 3m yellow polishing pads before getting on with the rest of the car.
Then started to work my way round the rest of the car using the lime prime and the amigo.
The prima amigo was applied using the rotary and the blue 3m pads, I am really starting to love this product as it is really easy to apply and gives a super slick finish to the paint work also smells lush
The car was given 2 coats of Meguiars 16 wax leaving about 30 min between each coat these where applied using a german applicator pad and left to cure before buffing using poorboys microfibre clothes. Whilst waiting between coats all the exterior plastics where also given a coat of Meguiars 16 wax and chrome trim polished using Werkstat Prime Acrylic. All the glass was cleaned using neat citrus bling, alloys sealed using 2 coats of Jetseal 109, tyres dressed with valet pro tyre dressing arches dressed with megs hyper dressing
