a quick wash with BTBM, wheels treated with AS Smartwheels, Tardis and AF Iron out. roof was cleaned with AG interior shampoo and exhausts with blue-b-gone. then inside under the halogen for a look at the paint.

paint readings were good for the most part, just a couple of places on the bonnet where it dipped into the mid 90's. i started out with Scholls S17+ on a 3m yellow, but switched to a green fin to get a bit more bite. interior was hoovered and cleaned with total wipeout. glass cleaned with clearly menthol
the car was finished with lime prime and a coat of Purple Haze Pro (had to be :grin: ). exterior trim got a coat of AG Bumpercare, basically because theres black plastic everywhere :eek: tyres were done with SN Tyre Dressing. lighting wasnt great for the final photos as i had the nose under the garage door. the drive had gotten a bit crowded! still, here she is.
