This was then blasted off with the pressure washer, and then the car was given another coat of the same mix snowfoam and washed using Meg’s hyper wash and the 2 bucket method and a wash mitt before being power rinsed off and dried. The lower parts of the car and inner arch lips where sprayed with Tardis which was left to do its stuff before being wiped down with a microfibre cloth

After polishing I went round the car again using the Red moose machine glaze.
After glazing my way round the car with the rotary, I applied the first of 2 coats Dodo supernatural wax using a german applicator pad and left to cure before buffing using Poorboys microfibre clothes. Whilst this first coat was curing I polished up the wheels using the Jeff’s prime acrylic applied with a microfibre pad. Once the second coat was applied and left to cure I sealed the wheels with Jetseal 109 and dressed the tyres with a coat of Valet pro tyre dressing. The second coat was then buffed off and car was then given a final wipe down using the red mist, and the glass was cleaned using neat citrus bling.
Leaving me with this.

Nice. I'd cringe every time I parked next to a kerb with those rims though. Ouch!
