Looks great.

With new car detailing, is it a case of a good polish first, then some decent wax for protection?

Pretty much but new cars have contaminents that need removing from travelling from the factory..David asked them not to touch it

I applied sealant rather than wax..that way David can use Sonax BSD Q Sealer to keep it refreshed until I redo it for him (Part of the deal)

Good to see some photos of the Metal Grey, it looks good, I've gone for the same colour in an estate, another 7 weeks still mine arrives though!

Getting the first detail done properly is really worthwhile I think. Costs the same as a dealer 'Lifeshine' or whatever but so much better.

 

I had mine done back in September and it is still beading nicely, and easy to just pressure wash clean.

If you're not careful, it soon becomes an addiction!

Christmas and birthday presents is usually money wrapped in a wad of microfibre cloths.
