This lovely Sport Yellow RS Megane 250 came in from @Brigsy after winning the Turbo Renault - Clio Sport raffle prize.
The car had seen it's fair share of automated car washes in the past and lacked its true gloss and clarity.
Brigsy made the 220 mile trip from way up north - down to Milton Keynes to drop the car off to have the paintwork brought back to life.
The order of the detail,
Full ODK Safe wash process.
Decontamination - tar removal, iron fallout removal clay bar and an IPA wipe down.
Multi Stage machine polish - most areas received 2 cutting stages, followed by polishing and final refinement.
System X Crystal applied to the paintwork.
System X Crystal applied to wheel faces.
Exterior glass coated with System X Glass.
Interior cleaned and protected with System X.
The car on arrival.
The current owner is a lot more enthusiastic about caring for their cars so it wasn't too dirty to begin with.

The paintwork was then refined further for more clarity and gloss.
