Cleaned up
Afters
Exterior
Before
Prep - Wash, Decon, Autoscrub, Wheels, Tires, Wheel Wells, Engine
Before shots of the engine
Not bad but we take a closer look to find.
APC on the motor and some brushing were needed to get rid of all that caked dirt and grime
Sonax 5/5 on was used by hand on the engine bay

Fuel door getting worked on
Yuck
Much better we hit them up again with polish and wax (sorry no shot)
Dirt, grime, road tar you name it, it was stuck on it.
Side skirts getting the treatment, APC first with some brushing followed by Stoner's Tarminator
Afters
Removing left over dressing with Stoner's Tarminator
Clean tires
Action shots
Finishing touches on the wheels
Wheels waxed and tires dressed
After wheel wells were cleaned up we used Adam's Undercarriage Spray to dress them up
