I started by snow foaming with Valet Pro PH Neutral snow foam and whilst this was working on the car I started on the wheels and arches, using bilberry on the wheels and various brushes to get them looking like new, the arches were cleaned using Megs Super Degreaser and a long handled brush, the car and arches were then pressure washed.

The car was then given another coat of snow foam was then washed using the 2 bucket method, Megs Hyper wash and a lamb’s wool wash mitt. The car was then rinsed using a open ended hose, and whilst car was still wet it was clayed using Sonus ultra fine and Megs Last Touch used as a lube, not sure why but have no pics of the clay after use.

The car was then rinsed and was dried using a Uber Premium drying towel and Megs last touch which once the car was clean and dry it gave me a better chance to see the condition of the paint

Great job.

I see a bit of orange peel effect on the paint, would that have been done at the factory?

i really want my car looking something similair to this, but it's fair to say i wouldnt be able to afford and use all the products you use.
at the moment i got auto glym shampoo and the polish.
i have a few swirl marks and poorly touched up stone chips by the previous owner which i really wanna try and mask.
is there any products i can buy or use without going too silly on expense?
oh the colour is ebony black the way.
thanks

You could the Dodo limeprime by hand using a microfibre pad, its hard graft but still gives good results. If your looking for some thing to mask the swirls you could try Poorboys blackhole, gives good results by hand and smells lush. :biglaugh:
