Here's what I did and used.

First up was a gentle hose down with clean water to get the loose dirt off. (Sorry forgot to take a piccy before I'd started)



Next up was a good coat of snow foam.



I followed this up with another gentle rinse from the hose. I then gave her a washwith a lambswool pad, Meguirs Hyperwash and used two buckets. Then another gentle rinse.

Normally I'd dry the car off at this stage with some drying towels but left it this time whilst I gave the rims, wheel arches and door jams a good wash and rinse, although I did towel dry thse off.

Next up I gave the whole car a clay barring with Sonus Ultra Fine Clay and Sonus Glyde spray. Used up a whole bar (butter fingers dropped the first half bar half way through!)



Now the paint work was now lovely and super smooth.

Next up I gave the outside of the windows a clean, so that the glass cleaning spray didn't go all over the waxed car.

Next up I gave the whole car a going over with Sonus SFX3 Final Finish polish, applied with a Megs sponge disc (this is all by hand as I dont trust myself with a polishing machine!).

The next coat was a Sonus SFX4 Paint Sealant - left each panel for about 10 minutes to cure before wiping off with a microfibre cloth. I didn't want to leave it on much longer as it was a bit too sunny and warm.

To finish up I gave it a coat of DoDo Juice Blue Velvet. After 4 hours work (and lots of muttering from the neighbours about how long i'd been at it) I was left with her looking gorgeously shiny!
