Bought a few bits from Slims this week including Valet Pro Citrus Prewash. Not bothered using one before so thought I'd give it a try. Just used in the bog standard Karcher snow foam attachment prior to full snow foam.



Snow Foam



Also had a new Meguiars wash mitt - you forget how nice the new ones are! Think I might start getting a new one everything 2-3 months as getting used more with my side line detailing.

Managed to finish it while it was still light which was a bonus!





Took a few pics and had a play with the red filter on PS  :cool:

A friend purchased this last weekend, a 2014 XKR and asked me to get straight onto it so a busy weekend for me...

Before



Paint was pretty good, minor swirls plus an area where he'd just this week tried to remove some bird crap..


Multi stage paint correction and ceramic coat applied... Ultimate Black looking as it should!

Superb work Jim.  Must have been hard work, but satisfying to bring it to that standard.
