Default 9 hours later.. car is all clean (just the outside)

I say nine hours, but I did stop at lunch time to wax oil my dining room floor and have some lunch.. then got back to it lol (so say more 8 hours car cleaning).

I snow foamed,
rinsed,
washed,
rinced,
clay bar'd,... purple clay bar, tbh I think it's a bit course, will get a fine one again for next time.
snow foam,
micro fibre washed down,
snow foamed,
rinced,
micro fibre towel dried,
DA polished using Menz 4500, panel at a time and buffed up with micro fibre noodle mitt and micro fibre cloth
then waxed it used MER (as I wanted something easy to apply and polish/buff off).
AutoFinesse Finale detail spray on teh wrap roof, as its wax free and leaves a matt finish.
'Mothers' Naturally Black Tyre Shine.





engine bay cleaned up and polished with AutoGlym Vinyl/Rubber spray cleaner.






Really pleased how the R205 rear defusser spolier looks that I fitted on Monday last week.





Plates back on.. ready for a drive



thanks for looking

rear defusser does finish off the rear end lovely, should have been standard on the 330s that way it wouldn't have cost me a small fortune to get from Japan lol

I was looking around this at Prodrive the other week and it's one nice Hatch, after my Mrs falling in love with it I think its made our next choice of car a lot easier . Top work by the way.
