Today has been booked in for sometime now, just so happens it fell the same time as the other VXR8 I did.
It was booked in for a protection detail plus engine bay and interior using Dodo juice products.
On first arrival the car looked in pretty good shape this morning at 9:30

Some pretty heavy swirling and marring, this was only in for a protection no correction but still needed to reduce these buggers.
Out with the pc and some menz FF on a megs finishing pad.
Not bad for a quick pass

The whole car polished using this method then followed up using LP lite via foam applicator panel at a time and buffed.
The car was then given its first coat of Dodo Purple haze and left to cure for 30 mins while I polished the exhausts and dressed the tyres and arches.

This was then buffed off and then I dressed all the plastics with some black wow.
Now Coffee time
and then dressing the engine bay with plastic and rubber dressing.
I then cleaned the exterio windows using megs glass cleaner and my glass cloths :thumb:
Now a couple of hrs had passed so I could still another coat of purple haze on and then left for 20 mins and buffed.
Heres the exterior/engine bay finished just got the interior to do in the morning and then seal it with some Dodo red mist.
