    Migliore Clay towel was used and the car was rolled into the garage,don't even know what this was but tardis laughed it off:

    As the chosen protection was going to be Britemax extreme elements, I polished the car quickly first with Britemax blackmax, this leaves a lovely finish and leaves behind a polymer base to lay the extreme elemtns on top of:

    Then onto the Britemax extreme elements, applied by machine to evenly spread it onto the surface, 2 layers and let the second layer sit on the car for 20 hours,even then still a doddle to buff off:

    Thanks for reading.
     
  5. Awesome job! My trophy needs some love atm,

    What citrus prewash did you use? I just bought some ValetPro stuff to try out.
     
  6. Fantastic as always :cool:

    My old Trophy was such a great car....
     
  7. Superb!
     
  8. that one with the red wheels looks like it could do with a clean up :rolleyes:
    top work again Ed.
     
  9. Brilliant write up and amazing work! I was stunned at the level of work for a 'mini detail'

    The car was in pretty good condition before although not had a chance to wash her for at least 6 weeks meant she looked a bit sad!

    Looks better than the day it left the Renault forecourt!!

    Big thanks to Ed. :smile:

  12. Looks great, a lot of work there for a 'mini' detail! How do the rear lower bumper grilles come off Ed? Mine need doing properly but I've never looked at how they come off.

    Thanks Rob.

    I can't tell you all my secrets........... just tabs behind the bumper, just reach under and release whilst pulling, makes it much easier to dress them.
     
  14. Nice one mate thanks, that's a job for Sunday!
