    Had the pleasure of detailing this lovely Alfa Romeo Gt over the last couple of days.The owner decided to have it detailed after a car wash put a nice scratch in the bonnet.

    Car was dropped off in the evening but I still had enough time to get it washed, then clayed with the Migliore clay towel and taped up:

    Onto the coating. Migliore Strata coating was used, this is very very easy to use for this type of product and wow does it leave a glossy finish behind really really impressed with this, leaves the surface so slick too:
