On inspection even before washing it was very noticable that the car was covered in large dull patches which after a discussion with owner he admitted to using AG Paint Renovator to try and remove some off the bird etchings.

Wash
-Megs Shampoo Plus with ***** sponge
-Lower panels treated to tardis to remove any tar
-clayed using Sonus green and last touch as lube

Wheels & arches
-tyres and arches cleaned with megs super degreaser
-alloys cleaned with P21s wheel gel and various brushes
-Tardis applied to inner's to remove Tar
-SV cleaner fluid applied folowed by 2 coats of SV Autobahn wheel wax

Exterior Potection
-IPA wipe down followed by 2 coats of zaino Z2 and a wipe down with Z8
-exteriors plastics treated with SV Pneu

After trying several combos I found using a 3m cutting pad and 3.02 to work with some areas requiring 3m FCP at 2000 rpms. This was then refined with Menz 85rd on a megs finishing pad
