Default Toyota Celica Detail (Poor condition to start with)!

Here are the before shots:



















The process was to Snow foam, use Meg's APC on all door shuts, vents, badges, arches to give them a good clean while the foam was left to break down.

Rinsed off, then Wheels cleaned with some Autosmart Smart Wheels and some EZ Detailing brushes - All rinsed off.

Car was then hand washed using Surf City Pacific Blue wash and wax shampoo and a Meg's Lambswool mit.

I then used Tardis to break down all the large bits of tar before claying with 3M clay and Autosmart Reglaze as clay lube.

The car was then sprayed with Meg's last touch and towel dried.

Moved into the garage for polishing and that's where some of the above pics were taken to show the swirls, it was quite scratched in places including a couple all the way down the passenger side.

I polished the car using a 3M rotary, with a mix of Chemical Guys Hex Logic pads and 3M Extra fine polish, a couple of areas on the passenger side required wet sanding so this was done where needed and then polished with 3M fast cut plus.

The car was then also refined using 3M Ultrafina all over via a White hex logic finishing pad.

Moved back outside to rinse off all dust and then waxed using Colinite 476s (Extremely durable wax)! It was then wiped down with Surf City Speed Demon Wax detailer to add an extra bit of shine! Tyres were dressed with Surf Citys beyond black tire pro.

I am really pleased with how the car came out, and hopefully Jenni will say the same but she seemed happy enough :-)

Thanks for reading
