    Hi guys sorry ive not been on in a while been busy with college work heres some work from this saturday

    This weekend saw me doing an exterior enhancement on a Rover following the Nissan Note a few weeks ago.

    Products used are as follows :

    Makita 9277CB
    Lime Prime
    Collinite 476's
    Blit hamber surfex
    Various brushes
    Megs Last Touch
    Chem Guys New Look Trim Gell
    Chem Guys Miracle Dryer
    Blit hamber clay
    Simoniz shampoo
    Gunk

    The car itself wasnt too dirty but the condition of the paintwork was appauling , far too many washes with sponges and visits to the HCW , needless to say I didnt enjoy this as much as i should have done because each time the brinkman went on it it just highlighted all the defects :roll:

    The process was :
    Soak lower half of the car , wheels and arches with surfex
    Rinse
    Wash tbm
    Clay
    Wash
    Dry
    Lime Prime via rotary
    Wax
    Dress exterior trim
    Spritz whole car with Megs last touch : This stuff smells great !

    So heres some before pics :

    I later went round this area with Johnsons Cotton Buds to remove the remains of the green stuff.

    The front bumper was heavily contaminated , it looked as if something has been spilt down it

    After one or two passes the marks were easily removed leaving the clay looking like this :
