Default 1st Clean of the year (lots of pics)

After a few weeks of dirt, finally a fair couple of days to clean the car

A few before shots







Wheels cleaned with Menzerna gel and Meg's wheel brush



Car foamed twice using Meguiars Hyper Wash and high pressure foam lance



Washed using 2 bucket method and Meguiars Hyper Wash. Car dried with waffle weave towel.



Paintwork prepared with Zymol HD Cleanse



Obligatory tail pipe shot - cleaned with Autosol metal polish




Next stage was to apply the Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze using a Meguiars G220 and Lake Country Technology Glazing Pad





Menzerna FMJ applied in the same way



Photo after interior detailing including Vacuuming, glass clean and plastics dressed with Poorboys Natural Look Dressing

total time 9 hours over 3 days

Thanks for the comments guys, i think the hardest part of it was sorting it out into a post (cheers for yor help with that btw Jay )

The battery was flat this morning when i went out there, i pulled the boot release while cleaning the inside and the boot light was on all night (well i hope thats what drained it anyway )
