    Overall the car looked fairly clean with a few RIDS here and there and general swirling but we wouldn't know for sure until it was properly clean.

    Car was foamed, left to dwell and then rinsed, rewashed followed by claying and then rinse and dry.

    We had a visitor while we were drying up...Maya came to check on her ride :picture:

    Some quick snaps out in the sun to see what the paint looked like. This colour proved extremely difficult to photograph nicely so not many useable pics here. Pretty much swirled all over with some marks here and there but nothing too serious.

    We found a single pass with 106FF on the white LC pad pretty much did the job. Some areas were hit twice to remove some deeper RIDS but overall the 106FF did a stellar job.

    Head and Tail lights were polished as well. Not much difference to be seen in the pics aside from the crisper deeper reflections

    Rims were treated to some Gold Class and Endurance gel

    Unfortunately my camera's battery died when we went to drop the vehicle off so I only got in a few snaps afterwards of the finished job. I think Rusty has a few on his cell as well that he might post up
