I then went around the car with some G101 (6:1) cleaning the lights, gaps, fuel flap, grills etc





After rinsing off I set about cleaning the wheels using some AS Smartwheels 4:1 with a combination of EZ Detail brush and a Valet pro wheel brush then Tyres and arches were cleaned with G101

















The wheels came up really nice, and I was pleased to see the nice finish appearing on them as they were refurbed a few months previous in a nice powdercoated finish but with a touch of sparkle to them - you'll see what I mean further down in the final shots.

Shampoo used was Wolfs White Satin with an Adam's wash pad, two buckets with grit guards from Autobrite - These have lasted me really well so far so no plans on changing them yet but I do keep wondering how long the handles will last :-)

Tardis was remove all those tiny bits as well as a few larger areas! This was sprayed on one panel at a time and left for 2-3 mins before wiping away with a new MF cloth.

This removed all the Tar easily so I was happy to get claying, using Blue 3M clay and some AS Reglaze as lube
Last step before polishing was to rinse off again, mist with Last touch all over and towel dry.

You've seen the swirls already in the sunlight but under lights they were obviously even worse! I got it all taped up, and used my 3M rotary with the usual combination of Hex Logic White, Green pads and a 3M blue for the refining. Polish wise I used Menzerna 85RD 3.02 and refined with 3M ultrafina.
