Well woke up yesterday and decided, that having not cleaned the car since I got it back in September and now that the hose pipe ban had been lifted, to give it a good scrubbing!

The two bucket method works well, this was taken on the second wash

Dried off using Poorboys Waffle Weave Towel
Clayed the whole car using Megs Quick Detailer and claybar

Then broke out the Christmas pressie and PC'd the whole car using
Sonus SFX-1 Restore on Yellow Pad
Sonus SFX-2 Enhance on Blue Pad

Then I applied by hand the following using Megs foam pads and buffing using Poorboy's Deluxe Mega Towels

JEFFS Werkstatt Prime Acrylic
JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Jett
JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Glos

and the finished product (sorry if they are a little blurry my hands where shaking after too much :buffer: :D )

Really happy with my first attempt thou it took 6 hours and the light was fading fast at the end, can't wait until the weather gets better and warmer and I can get out and do it again! :thumb:

Thanks for looking......
