well 2 bucket method, with Turtle Wax (I Know not the best but its all I had :embarassed: )

then went on to drying off then started with first off Maguire's Deep Crystal Polish which is horrid to get off then 1 layer of Maguire's Cleaner Wax then another layer of Maguire's Tec Wax :smiley:

next time its going to be SPR insted of the Crystal Deep Clean Polish
