    This was booked in over 2 days, vehicle spends 5 days of the week sitting in a haulage yard whislt the owner is driving his lorry throughout Europe so only gets used weekends when he returns.

    On arrival I had the owner help with removal of hard top so I could give the soft top up a good cleaning.

    Vehicle before wash stage:

    Soft top was cleaned and protected with 303 cleaner and there fabric guard. The vert compartment area was also given a good clean and protected with 303 protectant

    Wheels were cleaned with p21s wheel gel, tardis and various brushes. The wheels needed more than a clean and are being replaced so owner didnt want to much time spent on them even though they did need it badly especially the fronts

    Vehicle was then soaked with a citrus degreaser and worked in all badges, panel gaps, door and boot shuts

    Most of the correction was done with Menz 3.02 on a megs cutting pad, some of the worst panels were hit with 3M FCP such as bonnet and the boot which were covered in RDS, this was then refined with Menz 85rd

    Jay,

    In the 50/50 shots I see what looks like left over MF pieces or something? Or is it just dust? Pictures look great though!! Great Detail!
