    Owner of this car (who is on here btw) contacted me via another forum to initially detail an Audi TT, closer to the date he changed this to his newer Porsche Caymen S. The car had a couple of stracted and many swirls and being black was very noticeable. As usual ill let the pics do the talking :)

    On arrival:

    Initially I rinsed the car, then worked at the arches/door shuts etc with APC and then Wheels with Bilberry Wheel cleaner.

    then I snowfoamed the car with CG Citrus Snowfoam, rinsed then snowfoamed again, rinsed, washed with Swissvax Car Bath and then rinsed, followed with Clayed with Swissvax Paint Rubber, detarred with Autosmart Tardis and treated to Iron Cut, then rinsed and washed again and rinsed and dried (phew!)

    Once dried on closer inspection the swirls were a lot more noticeable:

    Taped up the car and onto the correction, for this I used the following:
    CP rotary
    3M FCP
    3M Ultrafina
    Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro
    CG Hex Pads (Various cuts)
    To further refine I used:
    Kestrel DA
    Menz Final Finish

    some 50/50 shots:

    Once corrected the paintwork was treated to Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and buffed off then 2 coats of Swissvax Shield (each coat left for various times before removal)

    The alloys were treated to Zaino Z2 and then Swissvax Autobahn and the Tyres with Swissvax Pneu.

    Glass treated with Swissvax Crystal the seals with Swissvax Seal Feed and door shuts to Swissvax Onyx

    Exhaust treated with Swissvax Metal Polish and ultrafine steel wool

    You will not be disappointed with Sheild, I have already decribed it as the hidden gem within the Swissvax range of waxes and love it :)

    looking good man. didn't even know that swissvax made metal polish. That's for the heads up on that.

    Great work on another fine piece of machinery.
