these are the pictures from my detail the other month

Detail day again

The last time the car had a wash mitt touch it was back in November. I’ve jet washed and snow foamed it two or three times during that time but that is all so I was hoping for good paint under the grime that was on top.

Before pics





Wouldn’t be a detail without the snow foam shot


2bucket method was used


Once it was washed and cleaned it looked like this, not too bad


Iron – x doing it thing on the paint work



Then onto claying, the car wasn’t as bad as I expected to be honest, although I was not a massive fan of this clay, I will be returning to megs clay bar.


Worst part of the car was the lower part of the rear bumper


I had a large number of tar spots, autoglym intensive bug and tar remover made light work of the spots, unfortunately I did not take any pics
Here was the paintwork after decontamination



Here are some pics after the first stage, using a yellow lake country pad and Megs 83




Here are a few pics after a second pass using an orange lake country pad and Megs 80





Moved onto the engine bay



Exhaust 50/50


Arches



Summer wheels back on


And car back on the ground


Here are a few finished pics, rubbish photos on the iphone though im afraid













One after at the petrol station chilling

liver:
