That looks staggering, but I assume it's 60 elapsed hrs (including drying times) rather than 60 hours solid work??

The difference before and after is unreal, looks stunning now.

Were you washing with an exfoliating mitt to add that amount of swirls? :wink:

I know the pictures are amazing. :) I got the car 2nd hand and it had had a few owners since new that must have used pan scourers to wash the car.

The rear bumper had all sorts of scuffs and scratches on it which Clark managed to work his magic on (was thinking of a respray). Yes, 60 hours is a long time. Clarke spent long evenings on it and although it was booked in for 5 days he worked 6 days on it as he is a perfectionist.

Was told not to wash it unless I have time to do a good job and to also wash in the direction that the wind flows over the car. One day I'll do a decent job !

The handbag with metal trimming has been binned now, only use carrier bags.... :lol:

Looks great - like the lights too - do they cause an error message ?

Yes. I get an error message with the left fog light. If I switch off/on the autolights the bulb warning goes off.
