really interesting post Wiggins - thanks for all the pics and a fantastic looking result.

Couple of questions....

What is 'APC' (grilles and arches) and what is 'QD' (when claying)?

I've just checked out the side kick blaster on You Tube - useful bit of kit.

Since you guys all liked the write up on my RR I decided just to do a short one for my old mans FF! forgot my camera so the first lot of pictures are from my iPhone

Car was washed, decontaminated, dried & prepped prior to this state (everything I done you can find earlier in this post)

Before - a lot of swirl marks & marring under the lights, this car has never seen a proper "cautious" wash:



On the right we have one pass using the Megs G220v2 with orange Hex Logic pad & GTechinq P1:



50/50, notice how the car looks to now have a much darker deep black on the right & on the left a grey dull black, this process was the case on the full car:





Car was then sealed & waxed using Swissvax Oynx, was dark by the time I got finished:



Got home & tried to use some lighting tricks with my new lens! need more practice :



The morning after & for some finishing shots:





Since it had been over a week since the Overfinch had been done I thought I'd give it a maintenance wash & wax:



Decided to jump on the Japanese wax bandwagon & purchased Fusso 99 Soft for dark cars (around £20 off eBay) nice packaging but smells awful, people are going mad for this stuff just now on detailing forums so had to try it out:





Both all finished, time for some pictures!:
