Ive been hoarding bits & bobs/products ready for FCS and booked off today to have a real good go at getting the car ready for FCS. I also recently picked up a DA so I gave that a whirl 
Started with a rinse & foam, Demon foam:
While that was on I cleaned the wheels using Wonderwheels & a Valetpro brush:
Rinsed again, and handwashed with Mer. Picked it up from halfords on 3 for 2, lathers quite well:
After I dried it, I hit the doorshuts:
Then i De-contaminated using Tardis, Iron-X, and clayed the car:
Then another quick handwash, rinse & dry, and it was time to crack out the DA! Was abit nervous about using it at first but I've been watching youtube vids & reading up on technique etc so I had abit of a clue behind it. Went for a Chemical Guys orange hex pad & V36 compund. Its not perfect, but the difference from before is like night & day imo! extremely satisfied :approve:
I tried to get afew a 'before & after' shots, but using my phone so sorry if its not clear!
Before:
After:
(that last pic looks way better than the actual result :rasp
My Buddy joined in to watch halfway through
After all that I sealed it with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet:
Tyres dressed with Megs Endurance:
And then windows polished with AG glass polish, plastics dressed with Revive, and interior Hoovered & cleaned with Spritz, Hide cleaner & conditioner for the seats. Didnt get any pics of that as I had to help my mum empty her car and it slipped my mind after!
Please feel free to correct me if ive gone wrong anywhere in steps/products etc. And thanks for anyone whos gave me any advice over the past few weeks!
FCS here I come!
