Before pics








First up was the wheels, given a good rinse with the power washer to remove most of the builtr up grit and salt, then given a soak in Bilberry and worked in with various brushes.
The car was then given a good rinse down, lower half soaked in Megs de-greaser and then foamed with Megs APC due to the build up of salt. While this was dwelling the badges and shuts etc were cleaned with a swissvax detail brush.
This was then power rinse off, the car was then washed 2BM with a sonus mitt and dodo supernatural shampoo. The car was then rinsed again.
The car was then sprayed with Megs last touch to help the drying process. Window seals, roof gutters, wing mirrors etc were blown out with an airline.

The car was then given a coat of a coat of CG jetseal 109, while this was bonding, i dressed the plastics with Megs all seasons dressing and polished the tailpipe. The 109 was then removed with a plush towel, i then cleaned with glass with a glass towel and AG fast glass.
The car was then given a layer of CG petes 53 and the tyres dressed with duragloss.

Finished car

It's my girlfriends dads garage! It's a double garage, all that's in it is a motorbike!! Haha.

I'll need to give that a go Keith, I'll get some next time I'm through. It leaves a very nice matt finish, exactly what I'm after.  :happy2:
