    Roof was cleaned with meguiars all pupose cleanerand various brushes twice to enure it was cleaned thoroughly.
    Wheels cleaned twice with 2 variants of dilluted autosmart smartwheels then once with a quick shot of autosmart ali.
    Vehicle received a thorough 18 stage wash with various brushes, autosmart G101 and valetpro posoiedons carnauba wash including, de-tar with autosmart tardisand clay with bilthambre regular clay and autosmart reglaze as lube.
    Cried using uber towelsand autosmart tangoas drying aid then blow dried with chemical guys warm air dryer.

    Some defects for you to admire including areas that have been wet sanded due to some etchings from what looked to be berrys from a tree, quite possible due to a plentifull supply of contaminants on the paint.
