Mark M.K Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi all, Seeing as the weather was perfect for giving the car a propper clean, i deicded i would give the car the full works! I started off by cleaning the body work with Auto Glym bodywork shampoo and using the two bucket method. I then dryed the car using extra large Microfiber towels from Costco - A great buy if anybody wants them Once the car had been dried off, i attempted the claying stage. This is where it took great care and attention. I used Meguiars Smooth Surface clay Kit which is much easier to use than i thought! Once that was done (after around 6 hours!) the paint was nice and smooth, the finsih was very very good! Once i done the claying, i applied a top coat of Auto Glym SRP followed by extra gloss protection. I would of applied a propper wax, but after spending all the time cleaning the car i couldn't be bothered Anyway, here's the finished results: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedilard Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Must admit that does look very nice. When black is clean it's by far the best colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tato Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Looks great! I had to choose between black and white and I went with white...but definitely black looks cool also In my personal opinion, black fits better the bigger cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M.K Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 i do admit, Sea grey does look like black in different light. The paintwork really does shine in this morning's sun, much better than yesterday when i took the pictures. Many thanks for the comments :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
