Fight, after much delay, finally set up a Photobucket account. Don't know why I took so long. The only problem is that I could only find my Dad's old Sony 5.0 mp camera and lacked the settings I wanted for some good close ups of the paint - the sun was out yet overcast in other areas, soreally difficult lighting and couldn't seem to handle the glare.
Anyway, my process/ products:
First I washed the car down with CG Extreme Wash n Wax, taking my time as the sun was out so water was drying quickly and didn't want to risk any surface friction between mit and dry paint.
Cleaned the wheels with CG Wheel Wash.
Next I clayed Sonus clay w/ mixture of Megs and CG QDs and some shampoo in a spray bottle, doing the whole car including alloys and glass.
Then washed off again, dried using a Hydra-flex blade and waffle weave towel and a little more QD due to the sun.
Polished by hand (how traditional!
) with AG SRP. Did two times over on top facing surfaces - noticed a few swirlys, really should get a PC...
Next followed up with Jeffs Trigger spray sealant, 3 coats. This was done to all seals and shuts too.
Waxed using CG 50/50 wax, 2 layers.
Finally finished off paint with a spray of CG Synthetic Detailer to get rid of dust and static build up.
Glass was cleaned using AG Fast Glass, tyres treated with Turtle Platinum Series Conditioner and CG New Look Vinyl Dressing.
Anyway, shame about the slightly poor photos, will take some better ones next time.
