I may not do as thorough job as some others on here but I was happy with the results, and played with my new toy the autobrite lance and foam (like that a lot!) Purple rain i wasn't jumping around about, but maybe I didn't use it right ill give it another go. plus it smells of cats piss!

then there was a wash with meguiars shampoo and lambs mitt.

Next up was the clay, still get amazed by how much crud comes of with the clay, and how smooth the paintwork is afterwards!

I also sealed the windows but didn't get a photo, used meguiars glass cleaner then I've never sealed glass before so thought I'd give chemical guys rain off a go, and was very impressed with the results, no need for wipers on the dual carriageway! lol, there is a video further down while it peed it down during the f1
Next up was a new bonnet badge, yep, i found that to be pain to get off but managed it in the end!

sealed the tires with auto gleam wheel sealant and meguiars tire endurance and all the black bits with atuoglym number and trim shine

Then it pissed it down but you can see the water streaking off the windows! great stuff! probably need to do it again to get a better job, but i was quite happy. videos aren't the greatest but the dogs were jumping over me too at the time! EDIT - can't get the videos to embed for some reason so here is the links

Well Done !

Puddles ???? OMG

:evil:

Cheers chaps! And to the forum for the last year I've received great advice and learnt loads to detailling!

It doesn't help that I live on a new build estate so continuously getting dust from the building sites, then it rains, get dirty dusty splodges everywhere then have to do it all over again! Only bit I really hate is the roof, I hate cleaning and re proofing it! My neighbours think I have a problem! Lol
 
Very nice job there mate. Stunningly clean!

Where did you buy your new bonnet badge from? Mines peeling off after I got over zealous with the pressure washer :(
 
It'll! Cheers bud, might be the angle I'm standing, I'll check though, doesn't matter too much I live in norfolk,we've all got wonky eyes so balances out in the end!
 
I think leave the bonnet badge, it's a good reminder that we don't live in a perfect world.
However, your car looks great and the hard work has paid off! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks mate. I put only one layer of polish and one of wax, although I think I fancy another of polish and wax. Can I just put another layer of polish on top of the current polish and wax or do I have to put a cleanser on and start from scratch?
