Just a quick (ish!) one I did for Tom @ Lemass yesterday. Normally wouldn't post valeting work but it's quite a cool car, so why not!! Plus I helped to polish it up just after it'd been painted  
It's been sat for quite a while so had gathered a lot of grime and sap etc ( as well as a lot of compound dust too lol) So I treated it to a customised stage 2 valet:
Engine Bay before:
Soaked with G101, agitated with various brushes and wiped off with MF cloths. Black plastic dressed with AS Finish painted bits with AS Tango. It wasn't perfect but certainly looked a lot better:
Engine Bay after:
Wheels were next:
These were a b****** to clean AS Smart wheels left to soak then agitated and rinsed off. Tyres and arches with AS G101. Tyres and arches dressed with AS Finish:
Then on to the main exterior tidy up:
Pre rinse with AS Hazsafe and a drop of AS Duet shampoo, left to dwell whilst all seals, shuts etc cleaned with a small brush. Rinsed off and washed using AS Duet, rinsed and dried. Polished using a mixture of AS Platinum and AG SRP to leave. Wiped over with AS Reglaze to remove any left over smears etc.
Then on to the interior. Not many photos here as time was getting on and this was going to take a while!:
Thoroughly hoovered, plastics wiped down with AS Multifresh, carpets with AS Brisk foam, leather with AS Multifresh, then Nielsens Leather cleaner on 2 seats and AS Leather cleaner on the others (just trying out new products) seats were still quite grubby and worn, tbh are in need of reconolising.
Cheers for looking. Comments questions etc welcome as per usual
