Title: My first attempt on my Pirelli Gti
Post by: billy2shots on August 15, 2010, 05:28:22 pm

Gave my recently bought Gti Pirelli a detail today. Now im not a great one for cleaning cars in fact i dont think i have polished a car for the last 2 years. I used to laugh when i read the word "detail" but having spent nearly 4 hours on my car today i can now begin to understand the term.

I washed using autoglym shampo with the 2 bucket method
Dried using chemical guys super towel (first time i have used)
Clayed the bonet (first time so just wanted to test it)
Polished with Autoglym super resin
Waxed with dodo juice purple haze pro (first time i ever waxed)
Exhaust was polished with megs metal polish.
Wheels Poor boys wheel sealer then waxed. (never done this before)


Before i post pics please bear in mind i am a total novice and my camera skills and equipment are pants.

Blue Graphite Joe. Never liked dark colours but really fell for this.
