In total this had over 40 hours of work put into which was done over 5 days

Vehicle was washed in normal manner of pre wash/foam, 2bm wash and clayed.

Owner requested wheels to be removed and thoroughly cleaned and sealed which allowed me to give wheel arches a good clean

Arches were cleaned with Autosmart G101 and Megs Super Degreaser and then dressed with Megs ASD. Brake calipers were sealed with Zaino CS

Wheels cleaned with Epsuma Revolation wheel cleaner and clayed

Paint readings were taken with Positest 200 which showed healthy amount of clear coat was present all over apart from the lower doors

PAINT CORRECTION

I spent a good amount of time working my way up finding a combo to remove the defects and settled on using a LC Purple Foamed Wool pad and Menz 3.02which removed the deep swirls and defects.
