Default Went camping, got bored, polished car!

As per the title,
Used All Maxolen products as i had a load of samples in the boot.

Car was sprayed with 32 all purpose cleaner to lift of all the suicidal bugs and flys on my trip to Scarbourgh then washed with the shampoo and wax.
once dried i polished the car with violet polish and did my windows with the liquid detailing wax as i didnt have any glass polish in the car. i then nothiced a few spots i'd missed so went over the entire car again with the detailing wax. interior plastic's and all non painted parts outside including tyres cleaned with blue star a-z.

top job mate, i know how hard it is to get that standard of finish. Black may be the best colour but can be a bitch to get that good. Looks good

Top job mate

So hard to get a good finish on a black car.
