Started with the good old two bucket method using Jeffs Auto Body wash and a Meguiars lambswool mitt,microfibre mitt for the wheels.

Wheels washed first as above then a coat of Jeffs prime acrylic,then 3 coats of Poorboys wheel sealant applied with a Germann applicator,tyres then coated in Blackfire long lasting tyre gel.



Body work then washed with Jeffs auto body wash,2 bucket method,dried off with a Poorboy waffle weave towel,then out came the Jeffs acrylic kit,which for this colour(sea grey) is absolutley brilliant.




A big thanks to Rich and all at Polished Bliss for the advice and the superb products,they supplied everything from the buckets up

An hour or two indeed, there's a bit more work going in to it that, but all worth it ! Good work. The Jeffs acrylic kit works does well on darker colours doesn't it.
