Re-post from my project thread :http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?608410-Benkay-s-Titanium-PH1-172

I was supposed to go to Goodwood Breakfast Club today but made the mistake of getting up early to "quickly wash" the car.......I finished at about 14:00 ;)

I'm not big into detailing posts, it takes long enough as it is without stopping for photos every 2 minutes.

Having said that, here's what I did/used :

1. Quick powerwash
2. Snowfoam with Meguiars Hyperwash, brushing out panel gaps, nooks and crannies etc.
3. Re-rinsed
4. Two bucket method wash with Dodo Juice Born to be Mild and a sheepskin mitt.
5. Re-rinsed
6. Iron-X and Tardis applied to decontaminate the paint.
6. Clayed all over with Meguiars clay bar and Dodo Born Slippy as lube
7. Re-rinsed, re washed with mitt and BTBM
8. Re-rinsed
9. Dried with microfibre towels
10. Machine applied Lime Prime all over
11. Buffed off
12. IPA Wipe Down
13. Applied Zaino Z2 by hand using microfibre applicator
14. Buffed off
15. Went all round with Zaino Z8 detail spray
16. Zaino Z16 to tyres, seals and plastics
17. Mr Muscle to windows (no joke)
18. Rain-X applied to all windows and mirrors.

DONE! Here the results.....

Then I decided a quick spin up to a better photo location was in order.....only 5 hours late!

So...a long day of washing and polishing but I'd been meaning to do it since I picked her up, so I'm glad it's out of the way now and she should be well protected through the winter. Can't wait until it rains now to see the bead-age! :cool:
 
Too right....going to see if it can be rectified soon!
 
Lol was thinking the same ref the dent. Ph2 rear lights are growing on me. Overall it looks spot on
 
Very tidy Ph1 you have there. Every time I see someone post pics like this it makes me want one.
