Default Bit of a clean
Before the clean - car is dustier than it looks!


Snow foam - always a good start

After snow foam, rinse and a wash with Meguilers Gold Class then dry with waffle weave Microfibre

For anybody who thinks Clay bars are a waste of time...
Before:

After: (This is one door panel)

Final finish was Glaze with Poorboys black hole glaze, Seal with Poorboys XP sealant, Wax with Poorboys Nattys Paste wax (Blue), then clean glass with Rain X glass cleaner/seal.
Final shots:

Bubblegum freshness! I stick with the Blue as it's best on Dark colours - love the smell of the Black Hole glaze as well!
