I then washed the entire car using the 2BM with some Dodo BTBM and a new Meg's wash mitt.

The next stage was to Clay the entire car so i started on the bootlid and it was surprising what was coming off



2nd half of the boot


The rear quarter and doors weren't bad, but the front wing especially lower area was really bad



I rinsed the whole car off with snow foam and dried off to see what was facing me before getting masked up for polishing








Scratch on the bonnet


I taped up and got cracking, starting off with Menz PO85RD3.02 on a Sonus SFX-2 but it wasn't really making much of an impact, so i went up to Power Gloss S100 on the Sonus Yellow SFX-1 Pad which was making much more impact.

I went over it again refining with the PO85RD3.02 and here's a couple of 50/50's - They're not great but i was relying on the Sun and it's really hard to get it in the right place when looking at the camera




I went over the entire car like this and as the rain threatened i didn't get any more pictures of this stage as i just wanted to make sure i at least got the polishing done.

There was a lot of dust from this polish, i think i was probably just using abit too much really so i thought the best thing to do would be to quickly snow foam the whole car to help get rid of the dust.

This was the first time using my new standard Snow Foam from I4Detailing and it was awesome, produced really thick super sticky foam!






I rinsed it all down, and dried using Meg's last touch and an AB Fluffy blue drying towel.

I decided to try my unused pot of Dodo Blue Velvet as it was a nice black finish, and it smells amazing - Definitely a day for nice smelling products!
It went on as easy as any of the Dodo waxes i've used, but the rain kept coming so i had to stop and do a panel at a time before leaving it 10 mins where it rained a bit more, then i came out to dry the whole thing off again and carry on waxing.

Finally got it done and dressed the Tyres with Meg's Hot Rims tyre spray, these are the finished pics
