We started off washing at about 7:15.... it was FLIPPEN cold!
I took this pic of the buckets, again demonstrating the importance of 2 bucket method! (its not just to get you to buy an extra bucket)



Some shots taken in the sunlight after the wash and dry, just to show the Swirls











We corrected this scuff 100%



As you can see from this pic, the car had a lot of RDS's



and a nice example of strike through from the previous "detailer" that had worked on the car



I took limited pic of the correction process (we were busy) but thought I had to show this, some before and after pics of the window surrounds

before:





After:











These where pics taken to show the reflection prior to LSP, this was obtained with only the use of Lake Country Light Cutting Pads and Menzerna SIP (PO85RD 3.02)









This picture shows how the flake became clearly visible in the paint after polishing



Chemical Guys Extreme Top Coat was applied and left to cure for about 30mins, then buffed off and this was the result:













Pretty..... no swirls.....



















And as a little something extra this time...... Some rolling shots







And finally 1 pic of Flamingo Vlei
