  1. So this weekend i had some time to gave the old lady some TLC, as it was raining i don't have any pic's during the process but if anyone's interested these are the steps and products i used:

    - Wheels done with AF Imperial and Iron-X with various brushes
    - Snowfoamed with AF Avalance and some APC
    - Washed the car with AF Lather and Carpro wash mitt using 2 Bucket Method
    - After washing i used Iron-X and AF Obliterate and AF Clay and AF Glide to make sure the surface was decontaminated and clean before polishing started
    - As i was short on time i tried to find a pad and polish combo that gave good enough finish and some correction also, i settled on a green CG Hex-logic pad with Menzerna FG400 using a DAS6 pro polisher
    - Car was giving only 1 layer of AF Temptation as i was short on time
    - windows done with AF Crystal
    - Tyre's done with AF Gloss tyre shine
    - Plastic's done with AF Revive

    I'm 80% satisfied with the result, car got a lot of RDS's so need to tackle them when i got some more time, still a 10-12 hour job though!

  2. Very impressive
     
  3. Very nice, gotta love a freshly detailed black car! Just did mine today and took 7 hrs. Used a hand polish so not very happy with the results tbh. Also couldn't get rid of the tar spots even with the use of tardis. A bit confused by that one!
     
  4. If tardis doesn't solve it, it might not be tar spots! Did you leave it to dwell for 2-3 mins?
     
  5. it was tricky in the sunlight as it kept evaporating but left it for a while longer than 2-3 mins but they didn't shift even a little bit.

    No idea what else they could be....
     
  6. Bloodie hell that's clean. Good work mate
     
  7. Looks so much better with the ph2 rear lights
     
  8. I had some black spots on my Clio that Tardis couldn't shift, i thought it could be something like paint or something like it
     
  9. WOW!!!!!! looks amazing hope my black one comes our aswell
