Hi all
Well as I said the other day looked like being an early start and it was 6am down to the yard so indoors as the threat of thunderstorms were imminent and didn't wanna start then get caught out lol.
Usual citrus pre wash then 2Bw dried clayed  ( new rubber coated Mf cloth ) and clay lube worked better than I thought it would. Then poorboys dark glaze then Pb wax here's the result all by hand no power polishers lol ouch il pay for that later.
Gone for the arty full car pics more the reflections from angles for a change lol.
Anyways unable to get outside pics as just as I'd finished the heavens opened ans the rain had started oh well least got the job out the way!!   :whistle:

Today I did a quick decontmination, wash and wax of the white Golf. There was still transit wax in places and some embedded iron particles. All I had to hand was Fenwicks concentrated bike cleaner, so I gave the car a spray over with that, agitated where needed with a soft paint brush then rinsed off after leaving it to dwell.

AG shampoo was then used as a snow foam and left to dwell whilst I filled up the buckets for the 2BM hand wash. An open hose final rinse left very little water to pat dry with a big fully MF towel, Tyres were dressed using AG instant tyre dressing, before a coat of Collinite 476 was applied. I found that spitting in the wax kept it damp and made it really easy to apply.

The little black runaround was washed yesterday and spent the night out in the rain, so doesn't look too good. The paint is quite cloudy and has buffer trails from the dealer prep. Good job it's booked in for an enhancement detail in about 3 weeks.









The Golf is due to have some black bits added in a few weeks too, which should make it look a little different from the bog standard thing that it is.

Both look great Simon.  They make a lovely pair on the driveway. A bit of added black detailing on the Golf should give it a bit of individuality. Very nice.

gtiaps, the car looks fantastic.

dubber36, the only time I drove an Amarok was about 2 years ago pulling my friend around a wet field who was on a snowboard, ended up with him in hospital for a few weeks with a broken leg, arm, collar bone and a few ribs. Trying to explain why he had the injuries was interesting. It was great fun though, for me anyway.

Nice glossy finish that can be difficult to photograph on a white car. There's quite a lot of satisfaction from seeing your car shiny and swirl-free when it's been machine polished.

Look forward to seeing some more pictures when you've done the whole car.
