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.

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.

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.
