Default Gave the Scoob at mini valet today

So today I spent a few hours giving the fugly Bug a mini valet, came out quite nice.
Used a few new products and they worked well.

Thanks for the comments, so normally I use Poorboys / Meg's Gold class and Autoglym, but I decided on a few products that I had seen so thought to try them out and to be honest there bang on.
Easy to work with and great results.

Farecla G3 Detox Shampoo, G3 Paint Renavator, G3 Liquid Scratch and Swirl remover.
Liquid Ice Clay.
Autoglym SRP
Colour Magic - Blue Wax
Liquid Wax Detailer
Window Cleaner for wheels
Turtle ice synthetic Tyre Shine
Autoglym window paste
Muc-Off Split Second Detailer Wax

So I started with some Farecla G3 Paint Detox Shampoo, then rinsed and dried it, then I kind of cheated as I used some Liquid Ice Clay which was surprising good stuff, then I used some Farecla G3 Paint a renovator with my DA and a soft waffle pad.
Then with a hand pad used some Farecla G3 Liquid Scratch Remover, to get rid of any little swirls and light scratches the car had.
Rinsed the car off again, patted dry.
Then I used my trusty Autoglym SRP with DA then hand applied some Blue Wax by Colour Magic by hand pads.
If I had time I would have sealed it with Autoglym Gloas Protection, which I will tomorrow.

Wash and dried the wheels then sprayed then with Liquid Wax Detailer and then some Window cleaner, helps prevent brake dust from settling.
Then dressed the tyres with a new Turtle Ice a synthetic Tyre Shine, which has a brush attached to the trigger so you just spray and brush ion in one go.
Wiped windows over with Autoglym Window Paste.

Interior quick Hoover, some Quick Detailer over the dash area and buffed off.
Then a quick squirt of Muc-off Split Second Detailer Wax, over the whole car buffed to a deep shine.

Good work there mate, car is looking fantastic. I find this WR Blue a great colour to work on, shows off your effect hugely.

How you find the Farecla G3 range you used?
Where abouts in Essex are you?

Thanks for the comments everyone.
DieHardDonkey - Thanks mate, the rear wing is one of the things that attracted me to the UK300.

DarrenSTI - cheers for the comments mate. I'm from Braintree mate, what about you?
As far as the Farecla g3 range it's good stuff, and for the price you would think it would be horrible and cheap, but it breaks down easily and leaves a great smooth finish without any white residue or dusting. To be fair I'm quite sold on it, I'm unsure if it's relatively new and maybe why it's a bit cheaper then other stuff in the market.

Very nice although I'm not sure the double splitter thing is working so well as they are different colours

The original UK300 splitter is due in at the body shop soon to get smoothed and re-sprayed gloss black, was going to do it myself but it's bonded on.

I was considering doing the UK300 splitter blue but unsure what it would look like, plus when my diffuser turns up that will be going gloss black so will all tie in together as I've don empathetic gurney flap gloss black as well.
