Didnt do a full detail as the interior of this garage queen is always kept up to spec and clean.

The Car is mostly covered and in a garage so doesnt see much of the road although it had some tar and contaminants on from when i bought the car. This would be my first exterior clean up on the car.

Did not get much pics as i was pressed for time trying to get the car fininshed before going on leave to Ballito bay the next day.

Car was snow foamed and washed with 2BM

The car was then de Contaminated using valet Pro dragons breath and although not too many contaminants were evident there was some to be picked up.

After which it was clayed using the fine grade clay Mitt which works quite well compared to a clay barr.

The car was the polished with a Cyclo DA Polisher and an Orange CCS Pad with Mezerna FG400 and then follwed with a White CCS Pad and Mezerna P2500.

Lights was given a once over with the orange pad and FG 400 and sealed with Mezerna Powerlock.

Nice! I like the bonnet protector - do you keep it on all the time? It can make the paint sweat.

Thanks. I keep it on all the time yes. The Car doesnt get driven a lot so its mostly in the garage under wraps and I Only take it off when i wash the car (Which is quite a lot ) and then put it back on once i have cleaned it and Treated with with Leather protector. Havent had any issues with it yet but thanks for the heads up

You made Corsa look like Porsa, finish is so liquid that it's melting.
