After spending the past few days off work due to having my wisdom teeth taken out,I thought it would be a good opportunity to detail the car fully instead of only managing to Do half the job on a Sunday morning, which still at the end of it - feels good but incomplete.
Overall spent a good solid 4 hours or so doing each step by hand ( could have taken much longer but seeming that I had already clay barred the car only a few months ago it didn't need all that much this time over)
From what I can see hardly any swirl marks or deep scratches and the pearl in the paint has so much more depth and gloss since when the 34 was first bought
Reason for the post is to see if there could be any areas i can improve on, or to show others results of a good days work :)Note: didn't manage to take photos of before unfortunately.
