White hawkeye deatailed ready for show season..!
As PCAD and japfest will be on us before we know it, I have spent the last 2 weekends out detailing the car..pictures are not the best but there all I got..
First up, jack the car up remove the wheels front and back, spray arches and brakes calipers with an APC cleaner allow to soak and then pressure wash off.
Next up was all the door and boot shuts, again sprayed with APC cleaner with a wax additive agitated with a brush and swilled down.
Then moved to the engine bay, used Auto glym engine and machine cleaner for this and agitated with a brush, finnished off with silicone spray to displace water droplets.
Put in the garage with the heating on for 2 days to dry out the car and arches, Put the car up on axle stands then put on 2 coats of Waxsol underseal on the arches, while i was waiting for the first coat of Waxsol to dry (24 hrs) decided to rub down prep and paint the disc center's as they were looking a bit tired, i was going to remove the discs to paint them but I settled with masking up.
When the wheels were off cleaned them and clayed them, before using my Auto finesse tough coat system on them.
As the wheel nuts were off soaked then in Auto glym engine and machine cleaner, cleaned them with wire wool rinsed them off with clean water left them to dry.
Removed all masking tape fitted the wheels back on, then outside treated to Auto brite snow foam then to be washed in poorboys super slick car shampoo, back in the garage dried off and then clayed the car with Meguiars smooth surface clay system including all the windows.
Then using my meguiars DA G220 v2 polisher I then used Meguiars ultimate compound and set about the cars which took me about 9 hours to get rid of swirls and scratch and swirl marks, then followed by the Auto Finesse Tough coat system with 2 coats of tough coat applied.
Started on the inside next, used a foam suede cleaner on the seats and carpets, diluted down some APC cleaner very weak to wipe over all the plastic door cards, dash etc.
To finnish off cleaned the exhaust with Autosol metal cleaner and buffed off..
Now for a couple of cans and an indian tonight...LOL

Fair play Lee that car is gorgeous 
She is gonna be beaming at the shows with the sun bearing down on it
fair play to you, I would have given up after taking the wheels off 
I hate cleaning cars with a passion, good job I got good mates
