After a bad service wash - looked like they’d used Brillo pads - I decided to fully detail my car. Two stage paint correction and then protection with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and then Exo v4
This is part one. 

What happened?
Well I jet washed the car
Applied APC to the tough to reach areas and cleaned with a detailing brush. 
Rinsed the car off.
Applied Auto Glym Polar Blast snow foam. 
Let it dwell while I cleaned the wheels (as best as I could as they need a refurb).
Rinsed off.
Used the two bucket method (with grit guards) and Zymol clear auto bath shampoo and my trusty micro-fibre wash mitt to clean the bodywork
Another goooood rinse..
Then used a Zymol clay bar (more auto bathe for lubricant)
Rinse!
Dry
Then I used my DA 6 dual action polisher with a chemical guys orange cutting pad and meguairs 105 ultra cut compound to cut back the marring and swirls. 

That’s it for part one. Part two tomorrow when I shall use 205 finishing polish to get the glass like look then panel wipe prep before applying the coating! 
Stay tuned!


all the work was done on my own driveway, with regular equipment available to any hobbyist or enthusiast.

I can do this! so can you!!
