Gooldie's S2

Some snaps of todays wee detailing session on Euan's S2:-
Car was showing signs of a typical drive into work in Glasgow:-
The car was then soaped up using a new formulation of Shampoo from a chemist who is working on a complete range for me:-
Whilst this was working on the car, I set about the wheels, using Bilberry wheel cleaner and a new sponge from the states designed for cleaning wheels, a triangular microfiber mitt type arrangement, what a huge difference to the usual methods!
Car was then washed using the 2 bucket method and a new soft lambswool mitt. The car was then dried off using a new drying towel ( Again from America ) - Huge thing!!
The car was then clayed with Bilt Hamber clay and 50:50 Meguiars Last touch. The car was actually in good condition and didn't really have much in the way of bonded contaminents for the clay to lift.
I Then started on the machine correction work, using the new Milwaukee Rotary machine. For anyone considering a rotary machine or has one at the moment, you have to catch up with me and have a shot of this. Its half the weight of the usual machines, has an anti-tangle cable ( Which comes with a 4 metre length, stops you trying to somehow get the extension cable held half way up your back with the 2 metres ones ). The body of the machine is slimmer that conventional machines, making it much easier to get into places that were not possible before. This was used with a selection of 3M pads ( 75mm and 150mm yellow and green ) and a combination of Menzerna and 3M compounds.
Wheels were dressed with Chemical Guys wheel wax and tyres dressed with smart gel on a tyre dressing sponge.
Bodywork was sealed with Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze II, followed by a new product that I'm about to release ( Its all a bit of a secret at the moment but all will be revealed soon - Euan was certainly impressed with the appearance and feel of the car though! )
Interior fully valeted, all trim and dash cleaned and dressed accordingly.
Onto the finished pics, sorry about the lack of great pics, the rain decided to appear!!
Thanks for reading!
