    The wheels were cleaned using Carpro Ironx the was then given its first coat of snow foam whilst this was dwelling I went round the car using APC in a foaming head bottle cleaning the fuel filler area and various gaps and grills. The snowfoam was then blasted off with the pressure washer, and then the car was given another coat of the same mix snowfoam and the car was washed using the 2 bucket method with grit guards in both buckets and a Carpro lambswool wash mitt.
    The car was then rinsed off using an open ended hose and I then went round the car with Tardis which was left to go to work before being wiped down with microfibre clothes. The car was then given a coat of Ironx again left to do its stuff before the car was washed down using the pressure washer.
    Engine bay was cleaned with Megs APC a various detailing brushes before being rinsed with the pressure washer
    The car was clayed using citrus bling and water mix (10 to 1) and a Bilt hamber soft clay bar which helped to pull more contaminates from the paint work it was then rewashed using the same method and dried using the woolly mammoth.

    Wheels Cleaning









    Snow Foaming





    I then taped the car up and went round with various yellow 3m pads and Carpro Fixer polish, each panel was given a wipe down with Carpro eraser after polishing to check finish and remove any polishing oils.




























    Engine Bay Dressed





    Exhaust Polished





    The car was given a coating of Carpro C.Quartz Ceramic coating which was left to cure for approx 60min before a coating of Carpro reload as car was being collected by owner later the same day.

    The plastic trim and alloys were sealed using CarPro Dlux which is a cracking product which a little goes a long way and gives a stunning finish and dressed the tyres using the Valet Pro tyre dressing.

    excellent post,and I am so impressed with the level of detail.However,all this work is only as good as the paint finish,and being as how they are all peely,all your work is compromised.Why not give it a wet and dry with1200 and a block, then 2000 w&d, then 3000 on a da, then a buff with 2 compounds, THEN start the detailing work, ending with a smooth glassy finish. I hate present day finishes, as a sprayer since the cellulose days.
