Was a nice day today so I decided to give the Beefa a spruce up so I started by washing the car thoroughly , drying it then claying the car , then a polish , then to top it off waxed , and here's the results =

Thanks for the comments people , here is the method I used .
Firstly wash the car thoroughly and dry it , I did the wash by hand and dried it with Microfibres
then using the 2 claybars from a Meguires clay kit mixed together and Meguires Detailer as lube for the clay , using forward & backward motions to clean the paint , ensure there is no grit on the claybar or car or your going to scratch your paint , oh DO NOT DROP the claybar either , this is a surefire way to pick up grit or something damaging , use plenty of lube directly onto the surface and then forward and backward motions with the clay till the panel is done , then wipe with microfibre , do a panel at a time and do the roof and bonnet in two halves . Next was time to polish the spider web scratches and any imperfections out of the paint , I used an electric buffer to apply and remove the polish panel by panel , the polish I used was Auto Glym , Ultra Deep Shine as this is great for modern paints and dark colours especially , once this is done its time for the finishing touch , there are 2 options here , one is to use a sealer or second and the route I took is to get a good quality coat of wax on the car , I used Colloinite , Marque D'Elegance , I have done this procedure many times and for many people and have used a lot of different waxes and in my opinion Collinite is the best there is , it has one of the highest concentrations of Carnauba wax on the market . This was applied by hand with the MR Meyagi technique and again panel by panel & roof & bonnet done in 2 halves . I hope this helps anyone who wants to detail their car and if I can help in any way please don't hesitate to ask . After all the hard work ......

Sweet, looks really nice.
Just needs a bit of subtle tyre dressing to finish it off :clap:

Thanks , yeah your right about the tyre dressing and I was gonna do it but I have a new set of wheels and tyres coming , I'm putting 17" Momo Strikes on as soon as they are delivered so I want to save my tyre dressing :D

bilt-hamber auto clay is good stuff and instead of having to buy lubricants for it you can just use tap water, miles easier :)
