The point of the day was for everyone to get stuck in and be involved
... Here's Craig working away on the bottom of the doors...
Me working away on the bonnet:

Refinement was carried out using my finishing polish of choice -
Meguiars #205. Flexible to the point of allowing various techniques to be used to perfect the finish, application technique for this car was as follows:
- Spread at 600rpm, for a couple of passes to get the residue well spread, light pressure
- Begin working up to speeds, increasing the pressure as the speeds increase up to 1500rpm
- Refine at 1200rpm, light pressure only
The Volvo paint responded well here to a basic Zenith point method, with varied pressure, resulting in clarity in the finish that I was very happy with (and so was Iain :thumb
Before shot of some defects...
After correction...
Numberplates removed so Iain could correct the whole bumper:
Door mats were cleaned using the Tornador with Tornado Cleaner (Autosmart) - Iain and Craig like their Autosmart products and were keen to see how well the Tornador would work - well, it would have been rude not too!
.. The mats before...
And cleaning during and afters...
We all got stuck into every aspect of this detail, a really enjoyable day
