Default Cleaned my mums 206 today

Process:

Cleaned my mums car (peugeot 206) this morning, took 6 hours. This is the process i did:

1. Spray with super snow foam
2. Wash with 2 bucket method and wash mitt
3. Clay barred the whole car, well worth it imo (meguiars).
4. Washed again with 2 bucket method and wash mitt
5. Dried car with sonus der wonder towels
6. Put a layer of Chemical guys Polish on.
7. Buffed polish off
8. Put a layer of 100% carnauba wax on (love this stuff)
9. Buffed wax off
10. Glass cleaner on all windows
11. Back to black on bumper strips
12. Autoglym clean wheels on trims
13. Layer of Autoglym polish on trims
14. Cleaned the dash and other plastic bits in the car
15. Hoovered the floor, mats, parcel shelf, seats, and doorcards
16. Used AG shampoo on all seats, floor, doorcards, parcel shelf, and mats
17. Left the shampoo 10 mins to soak in
18. Scrubbed the inside of the car
19. Hoovered the inside once again
20. Applied tyre shine to tyres.

Whallah.

Heres some pictures:

Oh hai

Before...








First attack...




Second attack..


Wheels up next


Clay time, sorry didnt get any pictures between claybarring and polishing


Applying polish then wax (cant remember if this pic is of polish or wax but nvm )


Heres what it looked like after the polish and wax..


Now stupid me aint got any good finish pictures of what it looks like so i'll pop out in a few minutes and get some good pictures of it finished.

Heres a few of the interior:



















Again no good pictures of what the interior looked like when finished. So i'll nip out and get some pictures of the whole car and some pictures of the finished interior.



Any feedback good or back is welcome. As i do like to improve each time i clean a car.

Cheers
Paul
