First i cleaned the wheels with billberry wheel cleaner and a sodt wheel brush, the wheels were had allready been waxed previous so the brake dust basically just wiped off, heres a 50/50, the wheels were cleaned inside too but i just did the 50/50 on the front because of time

Then once the snowfoam had done its job she was rinsed, washed with maxi suds II and rinsed again ready for claying. You can see a difference just with washing.

Then the whole car was clayed with megs quick clay kit, washed and rinsed again then dried with sonus der wonder drying towel, the paint looks slightly dull because of marring from the clay but thats all going to be sorted with the polishing.

back under the marquee for finishing off, she was given 2 coats of petes 53 wax, the glass was cleaned with megs fast glass and the metal parts polished with megs next gen metal polish. The wheels were dressed with poorboys natural look to give it a new tyre look rather than a glossy wet look.
