Had a little detail of the hatch this weekend!
Ok well had 6 hours to spare so got to work on the hatch, she gets foamed pretty much every week so was not too bad but had a few areas that were bugging me.
First of all covered up the expensive bits under the bonnet, cleaned with degreaser, power washed and then a little detail.
Then a good foam and wash with dodo juice born to be mild with a mit, then the Turinis came off for a foam and a powerwash, a clean and a coat or Poorboys, also cleaned the arches and then the calipers had a coat of poorboys.
Then onto the bodywork, clayed, polished and finally a cost of Dodo juice purple haze which I have to say is pretty easy to use. Tyres blacked up and then glass and lights polished.
All in all pretty happy and got some nice reflections from the panels, all polishing by hand so not a bad effort.
And finally the exhausts had a little polish.
And then it rained but had some nice beading!
Some from today but a little dusty by now!
