A 2 day detail from me as well as paintwork, wheel refurb and leather recolouring from Tom
Originally booked in for a stage 2 enhancement detail, this ended up being a bit more in order to get it looking respectable again - the paintwork once cleaned up properly was pretty shot!
No befores just a few durings and afters.
Engine bay: Autosmart G101, dressed with Autosmart Tango and Autosmart Rubber & Plastic Dressing
Prerinse: Autosmart Hazsafe
Wash: Autosmart Autowash, Refined Detail Mitt, 2 Bucket Method & Grit Guards
Dry: Refined Detail Waffle Weave Cloth
De-Tar: Autosmart Tardis
Clay: 2 Bars of Bilt Hamber Soft Clay - I've never used this much clay on a car before, it was heavily contaminated!
Initial Cut / Correction: 3M FastCut+ on matching pad via rotary
Polishing: 3M Extra Fine on matching pad via rotary
Refined: Dodo Juice Lime Prime via DA on 3M blue pad
Wax: 2 coats of new Bilt Hamber Finis Carnauba wax
Glass: Autosmart Glass Clear
Door Shuts: Autosmart Tango
Exhausts: Wire wool and Britemax Twins
Tyres: Autosmart Highstyle
Final wipedown: Poorboys Spray & Gloss
Interior: Thorough hoover, mats spot shampooed, leather fully cleaned and conditioned with Autosmart Leather Cleaner and Gliptone Conditioner. Plastics with magic sponge and Autosmart Multifresh

Things got rather dusty and 1 of my pads disintegrated:
Cleared with airline and snowfoam:
Wheels finally refitted after refurb and finished shots:
Cheers, comments, questions & constructive criticism welcome as per usual

Great work as usual Rich!
