This was done Sunday 14th, it's been through a fairly tough time and only been cleaned by the local hand car wash so never really been done properly and as a result had quite a few swirls, plus a few scratches from contact with bushes etc.
Wheels were cleaned with Wolfs De-Ironizer Brake duster (Bleeds the Iron out as you can see it running purple)

It picked up a fair amount of dirt but there was still a fair amount left so i hit them with Autosmart Smart Wheels (4:1) and some EZ Detailing brushes which got the rest off and left the inners nice and clean too.
The car was then Snow foamed, badges attended to with some Meg's APC and brushes, before being rinsed off and hand washed. I used the Surf City Garage Pacific Blue shampoo with an Adam's wash pad and Autobrite buckets.
Tardis was then used on the sides, arches and wheels to remove any large areas.
After rinsing off once more i clayed it using 3M cleaner clay, with some Autosmart Reglaze as lube.
50/50 Shots during machine polishing, really shows the condition of the paint before and after! This was polished using an Orange Hexlogic pad, with some Menzerna PO85RD 3.02 and refined using final finish on a 3M blue pad (3M Rotary machine).
