So my car lost a battle with some un diluted Autosmart TFR

Accidental application in work removed all polish, wax and hard work ive ever put into it, and being un laqured paint it oxidized it completely

Started the day off at 10.45 in the morning, plugged in my pressure washer, put the hose into it and turned the tap on, 2 holes in the hose. Not a good start to the day, out came the gaffertape and about 10 mins later it was sorted (just)

Gave the car a rinse down and a wash useing a Dodo Juice Microfiber Sponge and some Autosmart High Gloss Shampoo, Car was then rinsed again and claybarred useing Autosmart Clay and spray, then Rinsed again

Then Rolled inside and dryed useing a Dodo Juice Drying Towel

Anyways some before pics of the Battle scars from the TFR


















Slight 50-50 after a polish with menzerna ff3000 and a menzerna finishing pad on a Cleanyourcar DAS6 Pro



Rear Quarter Done Door not done







As you can see the difference is already amasing, but not quite good enough

So the whole car got re polished with Menzerna ff3000 and a medium yellow Menzerna polishing pad on the DAS6 Pro Then Repolished with a Menzerna Finishing pad and FF3000
Then Chemical Guys EZ Glaze was applied useing a German applicator pad
Then a coat of Dodo Juice Orange Crush Wax followed by another coat 2 hours later

They tyres were then dressed along with the plastics, glass all polished with Auto Glym glass polish and wheels polished with Auto Glym SRP as i had no wheel polish

Anyways
End result i was Extremely happy with






















Any comments welcome
