The first deep clean, It now shines !!!

My First ''Proper'' Post since I got my car on Monday 9th :

Before






After












I've now fitted my Hatchbag Bootliner so the pooches can now enter and explore





Today its had;

*A Good pressure wash
*Foamed with Autogym Ice Blast and left for 10-15mins
*Wheels cleaned with Wheel Woolies and Autoglym wheel cleaner, sides walls cleaned (Christ they were filthy)
*Rinsed Down
*Foamed up with Autoglym Snow Foam
*Washed using 2 bucket method
*Rinsed down
*Sprayed with Autoglym Rapid Detailer
*Wiped down with 2 x CG Wolly Mammoth Drying Towels
*Foamed up with Autoglym ice blaster
*Clayed using a C3 Pro Clay Mit
*\wiped Down with 1 x CG Wolly Mammoth Drying Towel
*One coat of Autogylm Extra Gloss Protection
*Buffed Offed
*Wheels Dried
*Wheels Waxed with Poorboys Wheels Wax
*Sidewalls buffed with Meguires Tire Gel
*Logo Light installed


I'd say we are 60% clean now, the Autoglym EGP will last the winter and in the spring it'll be a top down detail compound, polish and a Ceramic Coat. Only had the car a week and its had it's first clean. More to do yet, found some nice dinks in the paint in various places which I'll sort along the way.


Its also had its rear windows tinted



And a new Carbon(esq) Fibre(esq) console fitted

She's a beauty. I like the seats - the fabric insert looks sporty and comfortable.

Thanks all for the compliments and reply's, lots is going to happen over the next 12 months as I keep 'Fettling' the car to my own personal taste ... , the eventual plan along the way is to do things like (imaginary shopping list)
  1. Replace the centre console with an Open Pore Black Ash AMG one
  2. Get the alloys re-done in Gloss back / Diamond Cut Silver like these (I may change for 20's as well and run the 19s as Winter Tyres/Wheels)
  3. Replace the seats with a Nappa Leather AMG Seats (maybe, not decided yet, depends if I can find a breakers with some)
  4. Install a subwoofer
  5. PPF the front grill/end and the leading bonnet edge
  6. Stage 1 Re-Map / fit a RaceChip

Very nice, but don’t they have garages wherever it is you live? Do you leave the station wagon out in the elements all the time?
I would think the time between cleaning could be increased greatly.
(or are those tiny shed things for the cars?)
