GTD late winter tart up.

Ashamed to say with the weather we've had, i've not been tending to the car as much as i should.
Well at the weekend i decided to give her a late winter spruce up.
Started with a power wash then AS snow foam. Whilst that was dwelling, i sprayed the wheels with bilberry wheel cleaner, and went around the details (badges, grills etc.) with a detailing brush. then power washed off which got rid of most of the grime. Cleaned the alloys with an older lambswool mit and my EZ Detail brush.
Then followed with a TBM wash using Meguiars shampoo and a new lambswool mit. When the car was clean, power washed off again. Then sprayed the car with Carpro Iron-X to get rid of the built up contaminants. Then followed with a clay using Megs Last touch as lubricant. Car washed and rinsed again then dried using my mammoth drying cloth.
Then taped up the car and machine polished with a DA using lime prime on a hexlogic pad, which removed 90% of the light swirling (which will do until spring), following by 2 coats of C2V2. Then followed with a coat of Dodjuice purple haze. Wheels polished and sealed with Poorboys wheel sealant.
Tyres dressed and that was pretty much it for the outside. Inside was simply vacuumed, and all surfaces wiped with a damp microfibre. Rubber mats cleaned with Megs APC.
So, onto the pictures (quite a few i'm afraid)

Sootchucker where did you get your red GTD badge skins from..? Might look to get some esp once I have the DTUK fitted.

Brilliant, thank you but I can't see the GTD front grille & boot skins…?.
I can see the GTD fender skins though which I also will need.
