My 4200 was overdue an intensive clean and polish. Its almost 12 months since i picked the car up. It has been washed and waxed in that time but i decided while i had the chance to give it the full treatment.
Before and after pictures. The first picture shows the car after washing, tar spots removed then clay mitted and then clay bar to remove any remaining particle stuck to the paint. Ive usually had dark coloured cars and wanted to see just how much shine and reflection i could get from a light metalic blue car.
The plan was a three stage paint correction followed by a wax and detail spray to finish.
The next two pictures are taken after stage one and stage two were complete on the panels shown. It took a few more hours to finish stage two on the whole car. The results of my labour were starting to show at this point.
Start to finish from washing to the end of stage two took 12 hours with a few coffee breaks and a quick sandwich along the way. At this point i had run out of light so i planned to complete a few days later.
