Very impressed with ease of use and finish. Gave the Recaro’s a clean and balm using autoglym. Pleased with how it’s turned out.

I had planned to take photos of the whole process but completely forgot! Didn’t even get before pictures!
My process was:
Pressure wash, snow foam and Billberry the wheels. Agitated all difficult areas with a brush and allowed to dwell.
Rinsed, washed (2 bucket method), a second snow foam and rinse.
Auto Finesse Aqua coat
Rinsed and dried.
Clayed using Halfords own clay (excellent stuff for £5!)
Auto Finesse...

I picked up this stunning Red RS250 yesterday.
The garage I bought it from had it detailed for me which I wasn’t expecting.
I have used 3/4 of a tank already just enjoying being back in an RS again.

I have already ordered a straight pipe to do the mid box chop.

I will be posting more regularly with updates and pictures from drives out.

Thanks
Gareth

I picked up the car just over two weeks ago now and I managed to spend the first weekend giving it a thoroughly good clean following the Auto Finesse detailing guide. All the pictures are below but I've got the products used right at the very end:

There are products like Chipex or Dr. Colorchip offered on the market, but I'm not sure good they are. Anyone used them or can recommend something?

I have Karcher pressure washer with a snow foam bottle. I'm planning to get Autoglym Polar Blast Snow Foam 2.5L bottle.

I have two buckets, one with a grit guard and I have a sheep-wool meguairs mitt and two microfibre mitts one for the sills and edges and another for the wheels. I came across TRIPLE QX Professional Wheel Cleaner which is a degreaser that you spray on wheels and wash off. So wondering if i should...
