weel as the waether was behaving today i decided to treat the car to a full decontamination and paint correction detail,started off with a citrus pre-wash,then wash,de-tar,clayed,washed,dried,stage 2 3M machine polish and finally AG SRP....no time for wax as yet as the air was getting a little damp by then,i'l do that after the next wash session....enjoy...the pics don't do it justice,some ar abit blurry for some reason...this thing is 99.5% flawless now,just a couple of scratches to get out with wet n dry when i get some

very nice mate, hard work very evident there! Very impressed

Yes, impressive finish, lovely colour as well.

I can't wait to do mine but it's still the middle of winter up here. On top of that the farmers are moving muck to the fields ready for spreading so the roads are as bad as a farmyard at the moment so it's totally pointless doing any cleaning let alone detailing.

Lovely. Moonstone has really grown on me. Wasn't a fan to begin with.

I had a moonstone a few years back and got rid of her when we went down to just the Tourer. I regret getting rid of her, and probably wouldn't have if she had looked like yours!!

A lovely job, well done sir. Moonstone is also my favourite colour Then again I do own one so I would say that, wouldn't I

Great job Steve

Did you cover all the chrome up before you used the polisher?

Ravinder · 20th March 2016, 20:54

I'm looking forward to detailing mine, now that the weather is getting better.

As an amateur detailer myself i know how much work goes into it all, bet you didnt have time to do much else today !

Looks great by the way
