Today I got to do the Wife..........s Rocco
 She won't let me drive it so I s'pose I have to do with detailing it.  So, the products Neutral PH Snow Foam Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild 250ml Poorboy’s Clay Bar XL - New ClearKote Quik Shine Poorboy’s Super Swirl Remover SSR2 Light/Medium Abrasive Cut Poorboy's Super Swirl Remover SSR1 Light Abrasive Cut My trusty porter cable DA polisher. Medium and light pads AG SRP Poorboy’s EX-P (Sealant) Collinite No. 915 Marque D'Elegance Poorboy’s Trim Restorer Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss Tyre Gel AG Fast Glass Loadsa MFs The process: Snowfoam Pressure Washer Clean the wheels with wheel brush Scrub the tyres Pressure wash inner arches Rinse with scrubbed water! Bought one of these:  Gives me 2ppm water so no physical drying required and no water spots and I can wash in direct sunlight. Bought it here. Then into the garage and clay bar and QS lightly. Car was new but surprised by bonded containments coming off, then again it is 5 months old. Inspection shown only the bonnet with some spiderwebs and a few minor blemishes on the roof. So 2 hits of 2.5 on the bonnet and 1 of 1.0 on the bonnet and rest of the car. A single coat of SRP and hand buff off. A single coat of Ex-P and hand buff off. One coat of Collinite today and another tomorrow. Trim restorer on all the plastic and Megs Endurance on the tyres. The results?     Missus is well pleased. Still don't get to drive it and probably get little else!  CtL
