So with the weather not being too hot today and not too many clouds in the sky i decided to wash, polish and wax the car as its been needing it...

My goodies for doing this were good ol' fashioned T-Cut original and g3's range of professional Farecla products.




I used the De-tox for the wash stage, which to be honest was brilliant stuff and very highly recommended! very soapy and removes all the contaminants from the paint. Next up was the hard work bit i was going on about! T-Cut original leaves good results just i find it crap to work with, but that might be down to the fact that my T-Cut is about 8 years old :/ After that it was time to wax the car. For this i used g3's Super Resin wax, the two g3 products that i have used are available in a 4 stage process, I used stages 1 and 4.

The super resin wax is amazing stuff to work with, hardly any effort at all involved in applying it or buffing off and leaves a awesome finish!

Anyway, here's some pictures of my 4 hours of hard graft Just wish i remembered to buy some tyre black haha










Thanks for looking

Top effort, looks awesome mate, have a look in the Recommendations thread in Cleaning and Detailing and put some reviews of the products you use, it's a really useful thread
