Well at last half a day off work to crack on with this!!

No before pics, as times not on my side today and i wanted to get straight on with it. To be fair its i bought it as its low mileage, and 1 lady owner, so the bodyworks not too shabby, just a bit of fading, and 1 small dent on the boot that needs addressing, but theres hardly any swirls, so this has been looked after to a certain degree!

I did it all by hand, as im going to machine it when we get some hotter weather, this is just to get it looking 90% right in the meantime.

I Started off by rinsing the car with the hose, a good wash with Turtlewax triple wax shampoo.
Then Clay
Meguiars Step 1 paint cleaner.
Megs Step 2 Polish.
Megs Step 3 carnuaba wax
And AG paint sealent

Then i dressed the tyres and platics with Megs Tyre Endurance Gel.

Thats it!
Tomorrow i'll get on with the interior and engine bay, followed by pics.
















Comments welcome

And yeh i know i need to do a few things, mostly rims but they are in hand

I like to wax then sealant, as it adds to the glaze. I wax every week anyway, so it wont really affect it.

Yeah, 3 doors are great......, if you have no mates that need to get in the car

Just seen a really nice set of wolfrace alloys, identical to those on Woolys corsa, only with a red lip, in place of the polished bit. I've just got to wait a couple of months before i can afford them boo lol

Just done a quick chop, this is pretty much how i want it looking
