No, no.... She took the iPad out! It's like, surgically attached to her now!?!

That's the only thing that works (unless I logon to the desktops next to the kids bedroom - not happening).

DAY 3

Sarted at 9am and finished at 6pm ( polishing only)

1. Applied 3 X layers of ZAINO Z2 Pro polish mixed with ZAINO ZFX Accelerator. (30 min drying time in between)
2. Used ZAINO Z6 Gloss Enhancer in between the ZAINO Z2.
3. Now the best bit, Applied ZAINO Z8 Grand Finale, this is where all the hard work pays off, this stuff makes the paintwork really "POP"

DAY 4 will be the final bit, Wheels, trim, interior oh and those indicator bulbs.

Will add final photo's tomorrow, then one week of golf

ahhh Autoglym SRP polish, that does leave quite a lot of white residue and is quite abbrasive. note that this is a polish and not a wax.

As your into AG, may I suggets AG HD Wax, not cheap but, can get it off ebay for £10 chaeper than Halfords.

Used this before and is a fantastic product, beading is wicked and will make your paintwork sparkle and no sign of residue

thanks for that mate,

is this the one?

can't find it any cheaper in ebay though.

OMG!!!!

can't believe prices on ebay have gone up that much that's a good price you got there?

Or you could go for Chemical guys Pete's 53 paste wax both brilliant products for darker paintwork

Note that the most important part of cleaning your car is the prep work.

My car needs some serious TLC - I don't have a clue where to start with this Detailing stuff though... So many products available and too many opinions... guess it is trail and error a little bit?

Can't see the pictures here at work but good effort all the while - you will have earnt your golf by the end of it... just hope your now massive polishing forearm doesn't affect your swing!

FINAL

EXTERIOR

1. Applied Planet Polish Wheel Seal + Shine on the alloys (New product and it's amazing)
2. Applied first coat of Megs Endurance Gel on tyres
3. Applied Bare Bones to the under carridge (Another great product)
4. Applied AG bumper care on the black trim
5. Applied AG fast glass
6. Applied second coat Megs Endurance Gel

INTERIOR

1. Applied Poorboys Natural look to trim
2. Applied AG leather conditioner

Finally, could not resist and went and applied another coat of ZAINO Z8 Grand Finale

Oh forgot to say that also did manage to change the indicator bulbs, 5 min job looks so much better

That's me done now forvhe next 6 months apart from the odd accasional wash

Got to say that that looks amazing.

Fair play to all your hard work, now it's time to play fairway, did you see what I did there?

What driver do you use to get 280?
