    Default my 3 day detail..

    Taken the best part of 3 days... first day was really a social visit to see mark the cabby and jonr over in oxford as mark was getting his sigbum all clean and shiny..
    in the process of being there though..jonr kindly agreed to 'snow' the car..well, let me use his stuff anyway..
    so..car was snow foamed...wheels and arches done too and then dried off.. then all the plastics, grills and rubbers were treated...using tyreshine for tyres, rubber front spoiler thingie and back trim..poorboys something or other for the rubber seals... car was looking quite clean after this as the car has not long been resprayed..




    next day, sunday... quick spruce up with quick detailer.. no need to wash as still spotless..apart from the tyre shine up the side of the car..
    first step was AG, SRP... followed by a coat of Meguiars tech wax...
    then sealed with AG EGP then a coat of nattys blue on top...

    got up this mornin and car was covered in frost :-(
    after it had melted, a quick spruce with detailer had it nice and shiny again and decided to put another coat of nattys blue over the top..for that extra protection!

    All trim was looking good from saturday so didnt bother touching it up..

    Been out and about today and had 4 people stop me and say how shiny and good the car was looking..and did i use colour magic by one bloke..lol

    Heres the pics anyway..











    A nice shiny bonnet too...
