Pre Wash Completed







Next standard two bucket Wash with the Carpro's great mitt & Megs Shampoo Plus a good very good priced shampoo







Wash stage going fine





Treat for new Motor Yellow Urber XL Drying Cloth, they are Fantastic



Car padded dry



No traces of Tar so straight onto Iron X, car was only at docks a day and on boat , then straight up to dealer so did not expect much fall out, but best to check, never sure even on new cars





Whole car covered and very little fall out, apart from wheels





Next up used Carpro Fine Clay, was very cold and hindsight i should of had more hot water with extra bit of clay advice i got from CraigQQ after , always have a bit soft to save some of the clay marring i got with cold firm clay, very little to remove



Heating clay to soften



Last Touch for lube

Next up CraigQQ kindly coated my Car With the Carpro Finest This was after whole car got very thorough Panel Wipe to be sure ready for Finest

Missed a bit.

Great post thanks Derek

Won't show it to my car as it will ask for a divorce, your 'pre-wash' is about as good as it gets for mine, lol

[GuiltyNL]

Nice to see this detail!

[languidmandala]

Shiny

[Torque of the Devil]

Outstanding, thanks for posting this

[JOHNBMWM5]

Just pray it don't rain

Looks good .......................................... today.

[tony20009]

Is that hot dogs y'all are eatin'? Or is that bangers and mash? I didn't know UK folks like hot dogs. LOL

Nice job on the detail. How often do you do that? I have had it done to my car every 9 months once my car reached two years old. It goes a long way toward keeping the car looking good as well as giving someone the chance to find stuff I surely would not otherwise have noticed.

Thanks , Carpro Finest has 2 yr warranty , if you don't do crazy stuff in between, one of the best seals on the market by far at present, and i did a lot of looking to get what i wanted

Bangers and pasta, and sandwiches and pork pies and backed potatoes, hungry after all that work

As well you should be. Just taking the pics was no small effort, to say nothing of the actual detailing.

[changed]

So you recommend the dlux then Derek?

[davyk31]

If you look closer there is a rubber square mat underneath it.

Car looks amazing btw.

do I sound that stupid? The wheel is sitting an a special draining 25mm rubber Matt with spacers to keep the wheel off the rubber on different sizes of wheels so chemical don't touch wheels after washed off

I never recomend no product as something I link and and happy to apply is great for me, but some may not want to do all the prep, I think is was perfect for my requirement. Best to try some under the bonnet first to see if you like the look.
With detailing product hype sells big and a lot is just hype believe you me I have tested lots of gear, most sold know.
I think for giving a darker rich semi glossy look that will last , this seems to be to my liking
Just remember prep is key so it bonds and lightly buff excess 5 min after applied so do one part at a time, product has heat resistant properties

Wow very impressive and Very nice!!

Now to keep it in the garage and not drive it anywhere...

Most are married that's why they spend more time in the garage, it cut's down on divorce rate's
