Wheels were done with my new decon wheel cleaner.

Car was then washed decontaminated, moved indoors and clayed.

Door, boot and bonnet shuts as always

Engine Bay cleaned and dressed with ACF50 which is also a moisture barrier.

All ready for work

Roof has been refined and bonnet and sides just the one session so far

Cool. I maybe moving to Chesterfield or maybe Harrogate so I'll be needing someone local to do my detailing. I love the Drake Fields chaps but it'll be too far to get work done.

Keep us updated on the unit.
