Brilliant read. 7xxx miles from new, that car must be worth a fortune, even more so with it being a GT2.

Oh my. What an excellent car and excellent wash and wax.

I can't help but think a professional digital camera makes it look damn cleaner.

I don't see how this needed it more than any other car that gets it, looked clean enough after the 1st wash.

tbh, for £8k, could you pay for a complete set of plastic & rubber trims, plus FULL respray?!

For 8k you could buy a lot of Meguairs tech wax and apply it slightly more often.

I only quickly read through it how long did the whole process take roughly?

Looks very very nice at the end!

If you own a detailing buisness its worth 8k, If you go out and buy wax every time you run out (wich would be in bulk and quite often) you would save a fair few pounds getting free refills for life.

The average bottle of wax is probably £10. It will last for at least 2 cars. So, far that £8k one to be of any worth (if my maths is correct) you have to wax 1600 cars

That wax is complete over kill! I think the car being such a low milage GT2 deserved more than a wash and polish mind and it looks fantastic but who the fuck would pay £8 for wax
