Finally got round to looking through about 500 pics and making a thread!

A few months ago Fro asked me to detail his starlet, so here's some pics and write up of what i did!

This is what it looked like when it arrived at mine:

First of all the car was thoroughly powerhosed then soaked in foam: (hyper wash and r222 mixed in to remove any existing protection)

And rinsed:

The usual wash process was carried out, then soaked in tardis to remove tar spots, wiped down, washed again, then rinsed and rolled into the garage for claying: (werkstat auto shampoo and 2bm for wash process, blackfire clay and lubricant for claying process)

Once it was clayed, it was taken back outside for a final wash before the polishing stages, Polishing pics in no particular order: (mainly menz 203s with menz or lake country polishing pads, small pads used for sections, by da polisher)

Looks awesome, love my detailing!

my favourite bit of your kit is the foam lance though, is it an AB one? Going to be getting a few of those in, cannot wait for mine to arrive

How did you clean up the lenses I need to do do mine as they are misting. Also what the best thing to get swirls out the paint? Can't believe how clean that is! Matt

mine were misty some hardcore polishing on them made them look so much better
