Gave my Formentor a 1,000 mile treat

My Formentor was about to hit 1,000 miles, so I decided it was time to give it a treat to a proper clean and a ceramic coating.

My mates mate is a mobile detailer/valeter, so he came out and got it all nice and shiny and the paintwork protected.

For those of you who are into your cleaning, this is the process he used:-

Iron fall out remover
VS Pro Ph- Citrus Foamed to loosen dirt
Rinsed and re-foamed
Wheels cleaned with soft detailing brush
2 Bucket wash with guards
Plush wash mitt, Wash and Wax
Dried with plush drying towel
Ceramic drying aid and ceramic sealant
Tyres dressed
Dash and interior plastics cleaned
Full vaccum
Carpets striped
Windows cleaned

Now on to the pictures 😁

A few hours after all the work was done and the car looking fantastic, the rain, sleet and snow started 😩

But now that it's all melted and the sun has come out, it allows some obligatory beading pics ;)

Here is also a couple of videos of the car before and after.

And it hit 1,000 miles this morning too!

Worth every penny. The colour is awesome too very nice. I’ve done my car too and it looks awesome. Such a understated car.

Definitely! Thanks, the colour is the main thing that everyone comments on, as well as how aggressive it looks.

Dunno how I missed this post Big A...would it be rude to ask how much the clean cost?
