The wheels were cleaned using valet pro bilberry wheel cleaner before being given a hit of Carpro Ironx the was then given its first coat of snow foam whilst this was dwelling I went round the car using APC in a foaming head bottle cleaning the fuel filler area and various gaps and grills. The snowfoam was then blasted off with the pressure washer, and then the car was given another coat of the same mix snowfoam and the car was washed using the 2 bucket method with grit guards in both buckets and a Carpro lambswool wash mitt.
The car was then rinsed off using an open ended hose and I then went round the car with Tardis which was left to go to work before being wiped down with microfibre clothes. The car was then given a coat of Ironx again left to do its stuff before the car was washed down using the pressure washer.
Engine bay was cleaned with Megs APC a various detailing brushes before being rinsed with the pressure washer
The car was clayed using citrus bling and water mix (10 to 1) and a Bilt hamber soft clay bar which helped to pull more contaminates from the paint work it was then rewashed using the same method and dried using the woolly mammoth.

I then taped the car up and went round with various yellow 3m pads and Carpro Fixer polish, each panel was given a wipe down with Carpro eraser after polishing to check finish and remove any polishing oils.

The car was given 2 coats of Swissvax Shield wax leaving wax to bond for 60min and approx 60min between each coat again buffed using Uber buffing towels
The plastic trim was dressed using CarPro Dlux which is a cracking product which a little goes a long way and gives a stunning finish.
After this I cleaned the glass and gave them all 2 coats of glass sealant
The alloys and calipers were sealed using 2 coats of Chemical guys Jetseal 109 and dressed the tyres using the CarPro Pearl

Stunning Butler, love these bad boys... :cool:

Impressive car and equally impressive work fella.

Great turn around...can't believe how bad the paintwork was for such a new car

You've done a great job, but how do you get all that swirling and scuffing on it in the first place - have you been cleaning it with emery cloth :grin: :whistle:

That looked well neglected to begin with :angry:
Nice turn around Shaun, good work :wink:

May I ask how long a complete turnaround like this takes you? Just out of interest.

Price depends on level of correction need and also the package that the owner choose's
