my first great detailing
My first great detailing !!!
   Using many tips and advices of Iain Brown from Finer Details in UK, Thanks Iain ! I decided to detail my car Now my bug is 15 months old and 30 000 miles, it was time to manage a complete detailing to removes some swirls and scratches due to the intensive car wash. Also, I purchased some materials and products as you can see below First step Meticulous hand car wash and wipe    Second step Clay     Third step Polishing My brand new rotary machine ! Lake Country pads : White for polishing Blue pad for finishing polish and glaze       Fourth step Glaze application  Fifth and last step Wax application  Unfortunately, I have not enough light in my garage to show some 50:50 pictures Anyway, here some final pics :  And the last ones, bad sunny light, sorry I don't live under the Florida or California sunshine.  Northern east of France is not a very sunny countryside, otherwise it was around 6.00 pm when I shooted these pictures all my apologises !      Thanks for reading Greeting from France Patrice

Looks REALLY good!
 I don't have the time for 9 hours of cleaning though!

Be sure guys I spend 9 hours only 2 times a year
and only 90 mn a weeks for normal maintenance, carwash, glaze and wax apply ! Here, some pictures after 3 days and 300 miles later, just a quick detailer apply in a few minutes :
