I was going to do a full wet sand detail on this but I just couldn't summon the time or the energy.

So anyway, what I started with..

The usual two bucket method wash and rinse, imperial on the wheels and citrus on the bodywork. I used Dodo Born to be mild shampoo. It was then foamed with avalanche.

Rinsed off then hit with IronX and Tarx. The first time I used TarX and it's very good!!

I then finished the Decon stage with with my decon bar. It's safe to say I'll rarely use clay again. Loved it. I got it from Carpro for a reasonable price.

Dried it off and took a closer look at the paint. OMG.

Once finished it got an eraser wipe down then, a quick glaze with Amigo then topped off with AF Illusion (Thanks Dave) Loved this wax, will be buying some more that's for sure. Anyway, the results...
