Well today was supposed to see me getting my hands on an Oyster Grey RenaultSport Megane 250, but there was a change of plan as a new car was being put in its slot by my customer.
All I was told was that it was German and 1 of only 450 in Europe... surely not... a 1M!!!
It was love at first sight :argie: (don't tell Milly!!)
Some befores:

As always, wheel first with Auto Finesse Imperial (Lather to be used later on)

Imperial liberally applied:

Worked with Valet Pro wheel brushes:

The supplying dealer had used some nasty sticky crap (technical term) on the tyres and got lots on the wheel too, so I broke out the neat Surfex to remove this:

The rear of wheels and calipers with Imperial:

Arches with G101 and Wheel Wooly:

Finally IronX was used to safely remove any brake dust deposits:

and rinsed:

Spotless arches:

Next the car was foamed with Surfex to remove the nasty PDI stuff the dealer had used:

The intricate areas were then worked with Surfex and more VP brushes:

Next the car was rinsed and hand washed with Lather and CQuartz Mitt:

Then IronX and Oblitarate:

Then a further foaming to remove all traces of IronX and Oblitarate:

Next the car was moved inside for claying - I do this inside to avoid debris falling on the car, whilst claying:

Drying next with Auto Finesse Drying Towels - I have a few!!
