Perfect day for a full External detail, cleaned in the following order -

Snow foam and light wash
Clay bar all over
Machine polish
Machine hologram removal
Roof clean (Renovo cleaner, recommend!!)
Roof reviver (Renovo black restorer)
Roof proofing (Renovo proofer)
Hand polish/buff
Wax/buff
Glass clean

Then after several hours myself and my good friend collapsed! Interior can wait to tomorrow....

Looks a lovely job. What was your pad and polish combo...? Any close ups on the swirl removal...what percentage did you get it to?

Thanks Angelus, unfortunately I didn't get any close up shots of the swirl removal, but I used the 3m fast cut plus with a sponge pad, buffed it with cotton and then applied 3m finishing glaze to remove the hologram and swirling with a microfibre pad. Then finished up with an autoglym hand polish :) not too sure on the percentage though but the car is like a mirror now so I'm chuffed with the results!
