Ere we go then! Hey guys, hope your all well & knackered from a good weekend of detailing!? I am 
So, I haven't really given Betty a full works since I purchased her In March 2009, she's only had a polish/wax a handful of times. She had a few RDS & odd marks here n there so a good tidy up was much needed. I finally got round to crrecting the door sills too!
So, friday after work I cracked on. She was washed & clayed friday night so I could get on early come Saturday morning.
So, wheels cleaned with Autosmart (new formula) & wheel woolies.
Pink snow foam .... need to try different mixes as it was a little thin for my taste.
Door shuts, badges etc cleaned
Bodywork was washed btbm & Carpro mitt
Iron X applied literally all over, pulled quite an impressive amount from the alloys but not much fronm the bodywork. I had tried Wolfs stuff too but that took an age & wanted to get on. Prefered the smell though!
Bodywork clayed with BS & Autoglym Clay Bar
Foamed again
Washed
Left inside overnight to dry, wish I'd have dried it now, waterspots everywhere!
Few random piccies ...
Tools ...
Defects ... ouch my eyes
Good old Iron X
Its all gone Pink!
Washed
Rinsed ... mmmm
Inside .... not pretty, marring from claying.
So, saturday I got all the paint enhancement sorted by 3pm iirc. I do love Megs 205, bloody brilliant! Got the wheels polished with some 205 also as im never happy with them ffs!
So, skip saturday. After each stage she was pulled outside to be checked for marring/hologramming. All good
Today, It was all about Autofinesse .... Rejuvinate, Tripple & Tough Coat ... Not forgetting Hybrid on top
Alloys were given some tripple too.
Few pics.... randoms outside
Finished piccies
New plates coming, hence why its in my rear window .... Hate getting that sticky crap off!
Cheers & sorry for all the piccies!
