Cool Its first proper clean since I had it!

Here is its first PROPER clay, polish, detail spray then Dodo Juice Wax job.....

I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results, bare in mind its Metallic Black Java pearl, some of the pics are so much like
a mirror its hard to tell where the paint starts and the background stops!
Boot ........guess what day it is?

Roof......thats my brick wall on the side, reflecting onto the roof of the car.

Another angle of the roof

Bonnet Scoop, with some odd ball taking a pic of me!

Bonnet again with the pooch

Side of the door.....several reflections and a bit of metallic to show the paint.

Very impressive fella. How long did all that take? I will need to give mine a good detailing when I pick it up on the weekend.

Thanks guys

S1FU, It took me 3 hours from start to finish, but I work fast, I guess my time as a car valeter as a teenager stood me in good stead!

I used the
Turtle extreme nano tec wash and wax
Megs Quick Clay
Turtlewax Color Restorer (black in my case) its the black coloured t-cut
Megs NXT Liquid polish
Megs NXT Spray detailer
Then finally a layer of DODO Juice Wax........taken of with a microfiber cloth........the microfiber is the secret to a good finish in my opinion.

And you also don't need to spend hundreds and hundreds on stupid wax's and voodoo magic crap thats not needed.

You can pop down and OCD all over my car if you like, unfortunately I think it'll need a respray first to get rid of the scuffs and stone chips

LOL The amount of cars I have brought back from the dead is sickening if I do
say so myself haha!
I need to get a respray myself on the front bumper, might
go for bumper/bonnet and wings had a quote for £420 for the lot.
Like my pain to be "perfect" and feel like glass
