After the shampoo was rinsed off the saxo was clayed with megs clay, then given another treatment of snow foam and washed with gold class again, the clay was quite bad at the end but it left the paint virtually contaminate free, even just after the clay you can see the difference in the paint finish, the saxo was then dried with the sonus dur wonder drying towel

Once dry the saxo was masked up to protect any arears that could be damaged by the g220, it was then paint corrected using the g220, sonus cutting polish and the yellow sonus pad, here are some 50/50 and progress shots

The spoiler had faded quite abit for some reason so i decided to attack that too, bit of an awkward shape but this really shows what a difference paint correction makes

After the paint correction i machined a layer of chemicial guys polish, selant and glaze then a layer of chemicial guys wet mirror finish and applyed 2 coats of petes 53 wax.

The light was fading so i decided to call it aday, Then on the second day the tyres were dressed and all plastic parts with poorboys natural look and metal bits with megs metal polish, i also cleaned the glass inside and out with megs fast glass.

Heres the finished product after day one

I think the saxo turned out really well and the paint looks better than when it came out the dealers, there are some bits ive missed out like the wheel clean and there was a scuff on the bumper that was machined out, but now there isnt a mark on it and looks stunning.
