First off, gave the car the once over with Autosmart G101, followed by Autosmart Fallout Remover:
Wheels were sprayed with Autosmart Smart Wheels and left to dwell 5 minutes or so:
After being rinsed off:
Still plenty to do though...
They were both easily dealt with by Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover, which is pretty versatile when it comes to insect removal and the like as well.
Out comes the clay:
Bonnet after just being clayed:
Found a couple of little scratches on the front wing, so set off to work with some Meg's Scratch X 2.0 and that tidied it right up.
Windows were sprayed with Autosmart 20/20 Clear before the car was towelled off and moved inside. I find spraying with 20/20 Clear really helps to reduce water marking on the windows.
Inside we go, and this is with Autoglym Glass Polish applied:
The car is treated to Meg's Cleaner Wax all round.
Starting to take shape...
One of the wheels with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet being allowed to dry before being buffed off. Wheels were also polished with Meg's Cleaner Wax, and then sealed with Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection prior to this step.
After a second layer of DJ Blue Velvet, and Dodo Juice Tyromania wax on the tyres, which was really brought to life with a brush round of diluted Autosmart Finish.
Then a new little addition!
About time the exhaust got some attention...
Treated with a concoction of G101, Fallout Remover and Smart Wheels, which proved quite effective. Brought to a shine with T-Cut Metal Polish.
Before:
During:
After:
The whole car was then treated with Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection and left to cure whilst I set about tending to this lot!
Buffed off with a fresh microfibre, and the car was reading for waxing. Wax of choice for the platinum grey of my Ibiza was Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro.
Plastics were dressed with a combination of Autosmart Finish, Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel, and the glass was cleaned with 20/20 Clear again to rid it of any polishing dust etc.
I'll let the pictures do the talking from here!
Thanks for looking!
