Sorry there are no "before" pix but she was pretty bad when I bought her in February. Think she'd been cleaned with a yardbrush and scouring pad.
I've probably spent over 50 hours since Feb going over her with Meguire's ScratchX and then SwirlX - by hand! (After using Megs clay and QD)
She's a lot better but nowhere near how she could be with machine correction.
Anyway, I'm pretty new to all this so just used what I have in the garage:
Auto Glym Wash
Auto Glym Tar Remover
Meguires Clay and Quick Detailer
Auto Glym SRP
Auto Glym EGP (waited and hour before buffing off - really made a difference!)
Turtle Wax Glass Polish
Lots of cheap microfibre cloths.
Should have used the 3M masking tape I bought (I forgot I had it)
This was done a week ago but only got round to taking pix today - after giving her a quick wipe over with QD. Surprised how well she came up again!
Oh, I also used AG Leather cleaner and AG Leather Cream on the interior along with AG Interior Shampoo. Looks like new again, but I didn't take any pix!
A dual-action polisher is already on the Xmas list. My arms can't take any more!
