Nice & Clean At Last !!!
In preparation for Donny next weekend, i had a bit of practice with some of the stuff i bought. I'm really crap when it comes to this sort of stuff, usually just give it a wash & rinse every weekend!
Started off by rinsing the car down with a hose, then brushing all the stuff off with an adaptor on the hose pipe, handy little thing !
Soaked the car next with Turtlewax Extreme shampoo/wax, and rinsed it off, again using the brush adaptor on the hose pipe.
Next up I got to the "Mer" car polish i bought, which isn't cheap, but it really shows, as you can see in the pictures below ! Applied it with a normal jiffy cloth, left it to haze for about ten minutes and buffed it off with a Micro-Fibre cloth.
I don't have any pictures to show you what the car was like before, or any during the cleaning process.. but here's how she turned out after the hard work ! I am well pleased, just got to do it all again on Friday now !!!

I dunno if it's just me but your car seems like it's lacking brightness in the colour.
Looks good though, but get some back to black.
