Well well! 8 months in a bubble and it was time for her to see the light of day!
Sorry in advance, forgot my sodding camera on the last day so the pics are all pants! I'll get a few wheel/arch shots and paint shots in a couple of wks time and add them to the thread.
After FCS i'm going to do a full 2yr review thread of the car. Expect some serious bias opinion! ha! Anyway going to let the pics do the talking but feel free to ask questions.
Total time for detail - 31hrs.
Cheers

Out of the bubble! 13deg, zero moisture.
Bumper removed for respray and foamed for first wash. It was washed after the ring but still alot of crap on it.
Left to dwell
Most tedious job in detailing!! Poly clay.
After the whole car...Not too bad considering.
Bonnet and front Cleaned with G101, sidelock brush.
Coils
Front arch
Rear Arch - Marky.
Taris working
Car pushed into to see the defects. Which tbh was a mission in itself. Minor swirling, Nothing too drematic. Few scratches from the ring and RS trackdays. Mind this car is/was used daily!!
Improved
Gone
The Combo for polishing was Megs compounding pads 3/6in and Gloss it's new Extreme cut.
Looking better
Here's where the pics go pisch! With the compounding done, the paint was feeling extremely smooth but still a few minor RIDS. The gloss ithas a particularly long work time and i made it even longer with a healthy spritz on each panel! It's alot less dusty than the 3.02 but much for muchness on cut.
Rear Arch after (Excuse overspray on disk - Gone after a couple of miles of driving)
Front - Clean!
Arches dressed with CG new trim gel. Coils oiled with KW lube.
Car was then hit with Swissvax cleaner fluid on a Megs Black pad and then Sealed with 3 coats of CG blitz and then the new LSP of choice is Swissvax Saphir
Curing
Tyres dressed with Blackfire and rims sealed wit Poorboys Wheel seal
The finished result. (Pics of Interior, arches, paint to come) If i can be arsed! lol
