Default Another Weekend Of Detailing

Well my detailing obsession is getting gradually worse i've detailed 3 cars this weekend mine...........again, my buddies which i havent got pics of and me dads VW.

With all 3 cars:
Snow Foamed
Rim Wash
Full Car Wash (with meguiars wash mits and gold class wash)
Dried (again megs watcher catcher and microfibres)
Clay Bar the whole car (already done mine)
Dodo Juice lime Primed (wax base coat)
Meguiars Liquid Carnauba Wax (already done mine)
Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Hard (applied with dodo juice finger applicators)
Layer Of Detailing Spray To Finsh











Then of course it started to rain but i got an idea how the water sits on it, then i drove away and it just fell off.
So now the rain dodges it









And a couple of me dads car which was full of swirls seems to been sponge washed all its life and some proper rough patches but come out awesome

Looks fantastic! Really good job!

Am hoping to do the same in the summer. Might need to block out an entire weekend though as have to do it when am back up north and am sure it will involve doing my Dad's car too while I am at it.
