Step 4 - I started to add protection with a basecoat of Klasse All in One (AIO) applied by hand, followed by a top coat of Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket (FMJ), also by hand. It was getting dark by this point, so all this was done in the garage - no process pics I'm afraid, after all, who'd want to see me sweating under strip lights? Many thanks to RobDon for sending me the FMJ sample. I finished up at 9pm by dressing the tyres with Poorboys Bold n Bright, applied using foam applicator. Please forgive me, I didn't have time to dress the arches or the trims, I'll be doing that at some point in the near future after a another wash. I will also be adding a further top coat of FMJ every month through the winter, and a coat of Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield (HGAS) after each wash. I have to say the FMJ is great to use - easy on,easy off, really slick and a deep, wet shine. Plus it offers just about the best winter protection you can get. Recommended.

Yes, in this case I used the clay bar that comes in the Quik Clay package with Clearkote Quikshine as the lubricant.

Im so inpressed with how sparkling you get the cars.
Ive got a black Saxo and struggle to keep it clean and even after I polish it, it still looks bad!
I really take my time over my car but I still get such bad results!
Nice work!
