    This saw a 2 day trip to Wales to work on this CSL

    First I started to clean the wheels and soon realized the wheels needed removing to get fully clean as the inners were in a bad way from track use.

    Removal would also enable me to add several layers of protection too area's of wheels that would otherwise be hard to reach if applied whilst wheels are on vehicle.

    Wheel arches were cleaned with As G101 and surfex HD whilst wheels were removed

    Wheels after being cleaned with a mixture of P21S Wheel Gel and Megs Wheel Brightner. Still alot of build up of stubborn tar and rubber, this was cleaned with Tardis and Clay bar

    After wheels were fitted back on vehicle recieved a foam with AG Powermax 3and worked into all panel gaps, crevices, badges,shuts and engine bay

    Vehicle was washed with megs Shampoo Plus and a lambswool washmit and clayed using Sonus green. Paint was inspected and measured which revealed a few area's had been resprayed.

    Whilst inspecting paint I found some deep scratches on bonnet which would need wet sanding to remove.

    You can just make the scratches located between the two lights

    These were wet sanded using Arablon 2000 & 4000 grit

    Sanding marks were then removed using 3M Fast Cut plus

    Correction was then carried out using Menz 3.02 on a Megs Polishing pad, some area's required 3M Fast cut plus
