Not getting time to detail the whole car in one sitting, so doing it a bit piecemeal. Here’s some of today’s efforts:

Wheel cleaned with Megs Wheel Brightener/APC/Tardis, sealed with Klass AIO & Poorboys Wheel Sealant. Tyre dressed with Megs Endurance
Wheel arch cleaned with Megs APC and dressed with AG Vinyl & Rubber Care
Brake bell polished with Brilliant metal polishes (and a toothbrush)
Bonnet and front bumper clayed, machine polished, sealed with Klass AIO, Sealant Glaze and topped with Victoria Wax Concourse

Some piccies...

Don’t lie to me....that wheel is brand new isn’t it?

Mine certainly don’t look as good as that 😂😂😂

(That wheel is spotless, awesome 👍)

Looks great!

Did you put some copper grease back on the hubs?

Cheers Tom. No, just made sure I didn’t clean off the existing copper grease. The All Purpose Cleaner wasn’t strong enough to remove that.
