I picked this up on Bank Holiday Monday last week and I've been waiting patiently for weekend to give it a going over.

2012 Volvo C30 2.0L R-Design Lux in Cosmic White metallic.

The car was rinsed down, snowfoamed, .rinsed off again & washed (2 bucket method).

The car was Rinsed off again and I left it wet while using a clay bar and Autoglym quick detailer to clay the entire body.

Clay after just going over the bonnet...



And the drivers side door:



Passenger side rear quarter:



The rest wasn't as dirty and the clay picked up minimal deposits.

Once done, car was rinsed off again, dried & then I used some Autoglym Intense Tar remover on some stubborn tar spots.

Once prepped, i polished the car using Autoglym SRP & waxed it using Autoglym HD Wax.
Tyres were dressed using Maguires endurance gel & glass was cleaned using Maguires fast glass.....leaving me with this......

not a bad finish you have there :)

next time though try T&G remover before clay bar it'll make your life a lot easier as it'll soften/remove most of the tar for you (could also give a little agitation with a mf cloth) :thumbup:
