    Shocked with my paintwork

    Before it was really badly faded ... now look











    Oh and this is what it looked like before on the roof (poor before and after i know)


    I know its not the best, but it's a huge improvement.

    I used:
    Turtle wax wash and wax
    Farecla Scratch Remover
    Farecla Paint Renovator
    Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax

    I did all this by hand.

    Ben have you read what I've written? Scroll up mate.

    The answer to your last question is I am going to buy a mop cause my arms were aching after all this and dehydration kicked in a little.

    Plus I'd get much better results.

    Juicydetailing has a decent website to buy these kits off I'm just reading reviews on some stuff.

    If I get stuck I'll ask Debo he's helped me out with all my detailing questions.
