Looks really nice that.
Though I would be embarassed if I owned an R32 and left it to get in that state, especially in summertime when it is a joy to get out and clean your car!

Very nice. Love the sparkle of the pearlescent paintwork when it's properly cleaned.

Just out of curiosity, should the snowfoam go on after the degreaser? I always thought it was the other way round, given that snowfoam works best on a dry car?

Top job :congrats:

What's truly great is in the fifth photo, of the back of the car, there's a perfectly centred tiny little red guy in the middle of the boot badge. Taking a photo.... :laugh:

Brilliant!

So the AS crystal is good?
I used some of there window polish last week, dont know the name of it but when buffing it off i had white powder bits all over the car, f in nightmare, like some colombians had been using my car as a drug den.
It was a sample and was a light pastel green in colour.
