its a process and a half!
wash/dry
meguiars clay
wash/dry
meguiars scratch X, 2 coats on bonnet/ roof/ scratches
meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner
meguiars deep crystal polish, 2 coats
Auto glym extra gloss protection
old matey on edition 38 recommended meguiars next generation tech wax to seal but i didn't have any n thought auto glym would do the job. I don't normally like mainstream off the shelf brands and generally stick to simple solutions stuff but what he says makes sense and he does it for a living for £100 a go so think he knows what he's on about!

link ain't working for me
could you copy and paste the document mate because it's not working. Does it really take out all the minor scratches etc....
Go on www.detailingworld.co.uk for a lot more info on detailing!
Some amazingly clean cars on there!
Heres a link to the process i did on my brothers car before he had a photoshoot for fast ford. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3271
There's 2 guides on there mate, and both on page 3.
Nothing i aint seen before though!
Bought myself some clay last night, and going on a buying expedition today!!

think u gotta b edition38 member for link to work! oops! yeah it gets all the swirl marksout which are the tiny scratches caused by dragging dirty sponges over your paint. overall effect is a much deeper shine. well worth doin in my books...remeber no1 looks at a dirty car!
