Car was really dirty - I forgot it was Purple!
The bug spray I used was rubbish - it left marks in the paint. Instead I used a halfords colour restorer which is a bit like t-cut but a lot milder. Rather than rub hard -wipe on and off and it took off the tar as well leaving lovely smooth paint.
There were a few scuffs on the wing etc... so I used T-Cut to remove these.
The alloys looked like they were black and dark grey!
After washing the paint still had steaks so I used a shammy.
Alloy wheels got a thorough washing over.
I then scrubbed the alloys and use CITRIC acid on the areas which were badly soiled.
The washed bonnet looked good but not a deep shine and there were still swirls in the paint.
On with the Meguiars Tech Wax (available in our shop!)
The finished bonnet - lovely deep shine with no paint swirls.
