[Image: P1050193.jpg]

The car was then dried and clayed using last touch as lube. Doors and lower arches being worse off

[Image: P1050194.jpg]

Washed again using the same process as before and brought inside to be dried and inspected under halogen and led lighting

A section on the bonnet was taped off. I used the Makita rotary and initially tried a 3M polishing pad with menzerna 106FA but wasnt expecting this to do the job. Which it didnt so i switched to the same pad but 3M fast cut plus.

[Image: P1050264.jpg]

Producing this

[Image: P1050212.jpg]

[Image: P1050213.jpg]

[Image: P1050214.jpg]

[Image: P1050216.jpg]

[Image: P1050217.jpg]

Onto the other half of bonnet

[Image: P1050224.jpg]

[Image: P1050225.jpg]

[Image: P1050226.jpg]

[Image: P1050227.jpg]

Moving round to the rear door

[Image: P1050232.jpg]

[Image: P1050233.jpg]

[Image: P1050235.jpg]

[Image: P1050236.jpg]

[Image: P1050238.jpg]

[Image: P1050239.jpg]

Much better

Things were starting to take shape now

[Image: P1050259.jpg]

Moving round to the boot

[Image: P1050260.jpg]

[Image: P1050261.jpg]

[Image: P1050262.jpg]

[Image: P1050263.jpg]

The paintwork was then dusted down and i changed to a meguiars finishing pad and menzerna final finish. Such a lovely polish

I then changed to a 3M finishing spot pad for the front wings, boot and A pillars

[Image: P1050283.jpg]

The car was then taken outside to be inspected in natural light

[Image: P1050284.jpg]

[Image: P1050285.jpg]

[Image: P1050286.jpg]

Time for the engine bay. This was rinsed down with warm water and shampoo plus, sprayed with APC, aggitated and jetwashed off

[Image: P1050288.jpg]

[Image: P1050289.jpg]

[Image: P1050290.jpg]

[Image: P1050291.jpg]

The car was then jetwashed and snow foamed due to the huge amount of polishing dust from the fast cut!

[Image: P1050292.jpg]

[Image: P1050293.jpg]

It was then dried inside. The engine bay was then treated with aerospace 303, protecting all rubbers and plastics

Leaving this

Poorboys wheel sealant was applied, along with endurance tyre gel

[Image: P1050299.jpg]

[Image: P1050300.jpg]

[Image: P1050302.jpg]

The car was then taken outside to be checked and to take some photos while the sun was out

[Image: P1050304.jpg]


[Image: P1050332.jpg]

I then went around the car removing any wax residue from badges and small cracks

[Image: P1050329.jpg]

These were the final pictures of the car
