this was originally mentioned to me a while back by one of my clients, but then got put on the back burner for several months. pity really, it was bought from new in april and it would have been much easier to do a protection detail on it then, than clear up the mess it has become 6 months down the line. the paintwork was still in very good condition, so no need to get the rotary out. just as well really, as it took me 7 hours just to get it cleaned and a coat of wax on! not many pics i'm afraid as i knew i had my hands full, so just cracked on.

look at the state of these!
i treated them with AS smartwheels to start with, basically so i could see what i was working with
ingrained wasn't the word, it took me an hour and a half with iron out and tardis just to get them looking reasonable.
interior was 'lightly soiled' :grin:
so it was the usual format (other than the wheels). Front end was covered with bug splats and bird droppings, so i gave it a good soaking with AF Citrus power, allowed to dwell and the rinsed. snowed with ANSF, washed TBM with BTBM, clayed with SN mild clay and born slippy. washed again and dried. mats were taken out and pressure washed, scrubbed with the remaining wash water then rinsed and left to dry. interior was hoovered, and hoovered, and hoovered until every last hair and pony nut had been removed. leather seats and interior were cleaned with the new DJ leather cleaner (me likey
). plastic trim was cleaned using AF Total interior cleaner and dressed with 303 Aerospace. Glass was cleaned with DJ Clearly menthol and a SN waffle cloth.
exterior was treated to a coat of lime prime lite (after i had polished out a few bird etchings with some Megs ultimate compound), and then topped with SNH. wheels were coated with Bouncers Looking Sweet (me likey this too ). tyres were dressed with SN tyre dressing. wheel arches, rubber mats and lower trim were treated with CG Bare bones. the rest of the trim was done with AF Revive.
i think that was about it :lol:
thanks for looking, comment welcome as always
