Decided it was time to give the old girl a good exterior detail, Spent about 5 hours on the car today and even managed to avoid the rain!

Usual cleaning routine for me...

Rinsed the car and wheel arches thoroughly
Washed the car using 2 bucket method with a Lambswool mitt and Meguires ultimate shampoo
Washed the wheels, Tyres and wheel arches using a Meguires Microfibre Mitt, Soft wheel brush and bottle container with foaming head containing Megs soap to a high concentrate
Rinsed the car again
Dryed the whole car with one new Autoglym Chamois, Dryed the wheels, Door shuts and engine bay with older Autoglym Chamois.
Cleaned the glass with Autoglym fast glass then Autoglym Glass Polish
Removed any tar specs using Autoglym Intensive Tar remover
Polished the car using Autoglym Super Resin Polish using a sponge applicator to apply and micrfibre towel to remove
Waxed the car using Collinites No:845 liquid insulator was using same application and removal technique as with polishing
Dressed the tyres, Bump strips and other plastics/textured parts with Meguires Endurance Tyre Gel

Here is a few snaps, There is a few more on my project thread...

Thanks :)

They are Hirsch Performance 6 spokes which are 17" x 7.8J ET42 fitment, These are the earlier design castings but are now a one off set that have been shotblasted to remove any corrosion, Had all the Hirsch emblems professionally filled/smoothed and are painted Porsche GT3 metallic Grey with black centre caps and black wheel nut covers
