Hiya
I was also lucky enough to have a helper today, Aaron who did well considering he’s only 5years old (my uncles grandkid), He had a go at buffing the polish and wax off, a try of the PC although with me holding it as well, and spraying the interior plastics before I wiped them with MF, also he was useful at steering the Grey Massey Ferguson Tractor (battery dead as it belonged to my granddad) to get it out from the garage to make some space for the car.
(wil try to drive anything)
Ok started out with the wheels, which where rinsed sprayed some Megs All Wheel Cleaner and Rinsed, with a bucket of fairly liquid and the EZ detail brush I also added Wonder Wheels and a soft brush to remove the worst, the wheels where later Waxed with AG SRP and Dressed tyres with Megs Hot Shine Tyre Dressing.
Befores:
Car Wash Washed with Megs Gold Class and Fairy Mix to save some claying work, rinsed and Clayed, the bottom of the car was covered in tar and any pictures of dirty arches lips were cleaned up.
Now onto machining, I decided I would have time to go round the car only once with the PC, I tried some combos, finishing pads were no good, polishing with #80 did little, so #83 to the rescue this worked well with the polishing pad, and used a cutting pad on the bonnet and extremely bad area, I also tried a new product 3M Fast Cut Plus, a small dab of this on the pads with #83 was doing wonders (unfortunately the passenger side was full of RDS prob from hedges, these where left. But the drivers side came up nicely), The car was machined except the lowers parts and the roof which is full panoramic anyway.
(so just a few swirls there then, if you look close, Lol)
(Little Helper buffing the polish off)
Before:
After:
Wax AG SRP, and Tyres where dressed.
Later in the day I returned to help with the interior (simple vac, and wipe down of plastics, etc) (sorry no pics)
Wish I could have had more time for tar removal and so on but considering 5 hours I think I did pretty well.
Final Afters :
Thanx For Reading

Yesterday saw me do a tidy up on my uncles Citroen Xsara Picasso which is about to be PX’d for a Vw Tiguan, Perfection was by no means the aim, it’s a 2003 and it has 90k on, Time was a factor so I knew everything wasn’t achievable so I was going to see how much improvement I was able to do.
