The Boosh!

Well after ordering loads of new detailing stuff, and with a sunny weekend forcasted i decided to try them out and do a full defect removal of my lil clio 1.poo!
Products used:
Which were sifted out and sorted from this:
:dead::dead:
Here is what the car looked like before the detail began:
Right... I first got the snowfoam out :
Left it to dwell for about 5-10 mins while i got some megs APC with foaming head on the wheels and all plastics (strong concentration) then agitated with various brushes! Quiet impressed to say its not a dedicated wheel cleaner and they came up great after abit of persuasion!
Jet washed off the snowfoam and washed using the two bucket method then clayed using mild clay
I then dried it off using a drying towel i got from cleanyour car. have to say it was excellent. soaked up all the water on the car in the space of 5 mins. did what a chamonis takes 20 mins to do in 5!
Got bored after all the above and it was getting abit chilly so called it a day!
DAY 2
Any who onto the correction. I used a combo of menzerna intensive polish on a cutting pad using both spot bads and larger pads I found it to remove around 80% of defects which i was happy with so the car was done using this!
The plan is to wetsand out and then use a combination of wetsanding and menzerna powergloss for the more deeper RDS on the car... pictures:

After:
(Please note i have not done the paint a the bottom of the picture just at the top. i couldn't get the camera at a good enough angle to catch the swirls so sorry )
I only managed to get these images showing the actual correction as i had no halogen lights, just a normal light and an LED swirl spotting pen light so as you can imagine, getting pictures was abit hit and miss so apologies for that!
The plan was to refine the whole polishing process with some menzerna final finish (the more abrashive one) but after seeing the final results i found it un neccesary and decided to just apply my sealents!
Sealents/wax chosen were:
Carlack nano
Collonite 428
Final results (apologies if they are abit jumbled and appear abit random!)
I cannot stress enough how GOOD the carlack and collonite combo is. gives a really dark, glossy luster and beads like mad!
THen i went on to do the interior and clean all the door shuts etc but no pictures so sorry!
Cheers,
Luke
