Lights treated with Megs PlastRX.
Seals and windscreen scuttle treated with Seal Feed.
Tyres treated with Megs Endurance.
Gave up on the second stage polish , did the roof with Menzerna Finishing polish but was beginning to run out of time and stream , being honest. After a weeks graft today took it right out of me !
Got to say , hugely impressed with the Aqua Gleam filter . Literally streak and spot free. Did have to use the drying towel in places but only due to ambient temperature. Glad I invested in it.
Also hugely impressed with the Swisswax Seal Feed. Top product albeit expensive.
Tackled some Stone chips too. Managed to mask a few but I am not impressed with the Dr colourchip kit. Word of advice , if you buy one don't use the squeegee they supply. Stick with the tiny brushes. Created myself a lot of work getting rid of the excess paint left due to the squeegee.
Won't buy that again , especially as it cost me 70 bangers !!
A3 is looking better but looking closely and taking into account the number of stone chips , I really don't know if it's worth me using the Ceramic kit I bought off jassy.
Feeling a bit deflated to be honest after all that graft. Still not happy enough to move forward with the Ceramic at this point . Going to have to think about how to tackle the rest of the chips and overall finish off the A3 .
....... and before anyone asks ....... Yep it's the OEM wheels back on the car . Two are in for a refurb as SWIMBO had a fight with a kerb
