First proper detail!

[sprentice]

So I gave my car it's first real detail today! Previously it had only been washed with shampoo, and I also have never done anything but just wash and dry, so here goes!

First I rinsed with a normal hose
Washed wheels with shampoo
Then using MER High Shine Shampoo I gave her a good wash
Fully dried with 3 meguiars microfiber cloths
Cleansed with Lime Prime
Glazed with 50. Cal filler glaze
Waxed with Britemax Vantage.

And here's some photos

Got an RS Grille too

And stubby aerial

Any advice what to do different text time would be great! Thanks alot!

Also massive thanks to @imprezaworks for letting me have all those products! Hopefully you'll think they've been used well haha

Looks good mate. What's the name of this colour? Very similar to flame red, but a bit more red if that makes sense. I'm forever having people tell me that my car isn't red.

Looks great!

Cheers

This is flame red! So is yours not flame red? It looks slightly brighter in the photo than real life

I dont think yours is mate.. Flame red is only on sports I thought, but I may well be wrong. Yeah mine is flame red haha, just looks quite dark when it's dirty (most of the time).

Code B76, im 80% sure this is flame red, but I'd happily be corrected haha mines been clean since I had it, but I haven't had it long nor have I even passed my test yet:'(

Very nice, great work!

Nice un-abused example mate.

 

[Knuckles]

Great work! The car looks ace!

My only advice is to invest in a tar remover and a fallout remover, use these before you rub anything on your paint (cleanser, Polish, wax etc) to minimise the risk of marring/swirls.

Otherwise, carry on as you are
