This This cracking Megane GT came in to be freshened up and protected.
A new purchase for the man, the legend @Big Steve - Raider - it was in pretty good shape, just lacking a bit of gloss.
The order of the detail,
Wheels, tyres and arches cleaned.
Auto Finesse safe wash process.
Decontamination - tar removal, iron fallout removal, clay bar and an IPA wipe down.
Major Enhancement Detail - multi stage machine polish.
System X Pro Ceramic coating.
Interior cleaned and protected with System X.
External glass coated with System X.
The car on arrival - it was collected from a dealership the day before so it wasn't very dirty.

After chemical decontamination, the car was taken inside for clay bar treatment.

The dealers had the roof painted, but it was a bit of a rush job.

The roof was only refined and waxed as it'll be going back to be redone.
Onto the rest of the car... you'll see the results of the complementary polish done at the body shop.
