before - very dusty as you can see, went down a muddy farmy type track to a pub, covered it







after -












process used

hosed car over to wetten and get off loose dirt etc

wash with gold class shampoo - http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=G7116&tp=0

using lambswool wash mitt - http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=A7301&tp=0

hose down with water

washed again repeating above

hose down with water

then dry off with Supreme Shine Microfibre - http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=X2010&tp=0

then cake wheels in this > http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=G9524&tp=0 vigarate all around with some old sponge and rinse with hose

the some bit of sponge to apply the tyre gel - http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=G7516&tp=0 - smells lush, like blackcurrant fruitella (use gloves if you don't want black fingernails for the next week, lol)

then using an applicator pad > http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=X3070&tp=0 apply the trim detailer > http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=G10810&tp=0 to all the black bits - grille, side skirts, wiper arms, aerial etc

took 1hour 40mins :)

I remember when I used to care for my car like that, then some lowlife keyed both sides and now I don't really give a **** about it.
 
It happened to me but only 2 panels, every time I washed it I had a constant reminder of someone with no respect for other people's property. I couldn't claim through insurance as excess was too high and was a poor student at the time.

Chris can't you get a full respray through insurance?
 
Looks nice and clean again Drew. I wish mine looked as clean as yours after a wash. That wet and shiny look is good or is it some PS trickery.

What happened in the last pic...the wheels are pointing the wrong way.
