Now that the car is finally repaired to my satisfaction and I have given it a couple of weeks for the paint to harden off (just in case) I spent the day giving the boat a full on detail. In case any one is interested, process and products used as follows;

- Wheels using Bilberry and agitated with various brushes;

- Arches using Chem Guys Orange Degreaser and Megs APC;

- Tyres with APC;

- Megs Bug Bugger sprayed on front end to get the bugs off. Pressure washed off;

- VP Orange Pre Wash sprayed all over the bottom half of the car to get the stuck on muck off. Pressure washed off;

- Valet Pro Snow foam over whole car and left to dwell. Used some detailing brushes on window seals and other sopts where dirt gets stuck;

- Washed with TBM using Megs Gold Class and Megs wash mitt;

- Dried off using waffle weave towel and Megs Last touch as drying aid;

- Clayed lower sections of car to make sure no contaminents;

- Auotglym SRP applied to whole car using megs applicator pad;

- Serious Performance FK1000p applied using applicator pad. This stuff is amazing. I was applying in heat and it was still best product to apply and take off I have ever used;

- Final spray down and wipe with Megs last touch;

- Aerospace 303 on plastics, trim and engine bay.

Burnt my neck and arms as forgot to put any cream on but I am pleased with results. Any comments welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Thanks for looking

Very nice

A lot of hard work has gone into that finish. No mechanical aid ? or was this not needed.

Cheers, for commenting. No mechanical aid used as I dont have a DC or orbital. Never used one before. I have used above wash method since I got the car to eliminate swirls from the start. SRP does a great job of sorting any light swirls that might appear.

Good job!!!

Cheers:thumbup:
