This was booked in for a 1 day Enhancement Detail, Paul also requested wheels to be removed to be cleaned and protected.
Vehicle was washed in normal manner which consisted of engine bay being cleaned with AG Powermax 3, vehicle was then foamed with AG Powermax and left to dwell 5-6 mins whilst I worked it into all panel gaps and badges. Vehicle was then washed with Megs Shampoo Plus and a lambswool washmit, and finally clayed using Swissvax Paint Rubber. Wheels were removed.... Wheel before 
and after cleaning with Epsuma Revolution Wheel Cleaner and various brushes. Tryes were cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser. Once dry wheel inners were treated to a coat of Zaino CS 
Whilst wheels were off arches were given a good clean with G101 
As this was only to have a single stage machine polish i used Gloss It One Step Machine Gloss along with Gloss It EVP and a Megs Polishing pad/3M polishing pads. This gave about 85% correction Few pics BEFORE

Although vehicle was booked in just for a single stage machine polish I hit the carbon fiber roof several times as wanted it looking as good as possible as it does make the car stand out IMO. I used Menz 3.02 on a Megs Polishing Pad and it required 2-3 hits to get it looking its best again. 
AFTER 
Roof was then refined with 3m Ultrafina. Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was then a applied by hand to paintwork and roof before applying a coat of Swissvax Divine. Divine was left to cure whilst I carried out some of the smaller jobs such as polishing up the exhausts 
Dressed engine bay with Swissvax Pneu 
Tryes dressed with Swissvax Pneu and wheels waxed with Swissvax Autobahn
