Default Saxo Vts Detail (19hours)

Right as the winter is coming and my saxo moving into storage for boost it was the last time i would get to be able to sort it before it comes out to play early next year..

Spent 19hours over the period of two days to remove all the straches and marks, (after fitting areo catches) and really give it some protection.

Method
1) snow foamed
2) Cleaned with lambswool mitt and APC
3) rinised
4) Washed again with dodo juice supernatural
5) clayed using born slipperly and dodo juice clay
6) washed again using dodo juice wax protect shampoo,
7) dried and taped
8) machine polisher using fine cut compound
9) Wax, dodojuice white diamound, followed by red mist
10) Tyres dressed, bump strips dressed, wheels waxed using poorboys!!

No befores pictures but loads of shots how she came out, so chuffed.

Weather, so do expect huge reflection shots, was like this both days



Taping ( better Minigibbo)




End results!!!

The weather had a massive impact on the photos, the car is like a mirror, near enough showroom finish (better than showroom obvi)

Shame about the dent on the N/s Rear quarter but the rest is great.

As mentioned, silver cars are bastards to get shiney and you've done really well. The only thing I would've done differently is used a Glaze (Poorboys white diamond for light cars). Just makes it that little bit more deep and shiny.
