After a busy busy start to the year snow snow and more snow everytime i have had a nice sunny day i have been at work,day off it rains...until today.

I don't have detailing ocd but i do throughly enjoy cleaning my cars taking them from minging to clean gives so much satisfaction.
a quick run down of how my day was spent

it's prob been 3 months since it's had a good wash so some before pictures are in order methinks

i lost my blue masking tape and could only find a roll of bog basic mask tape to tape glas and trim off so yes it has come away in some of the pictures

lime prime done now onto the ag gloss to give it a bit of depth

by now it was lunch time perfect cause the gloss has to sit for 30-60 minutes

quick trip to kfc nom noms eaten time to go back to work.

forgot to take a picture after the gloss doh

treated all the glass to ag glass polish really like this stuff not a massive fan of the fast glass though.

Interior hoovered and the dash given a once over with megs quik detailer i really must get some new mats for it though..
