First polish!










After owning this D4 for nearly a year, I thought that it was time it had a fettle - wash, clay bar, mild cutting compound, polish and finally a wax! I’m knackered now. Confused

My previous D4 was washed and polished regularly, but after a number of “glitches” with this one, I’m hoping that I have my mojo back. I certainly enjoyed doing it. Thumbs Up

It’s not a colour that really shows the treatment, unlike the Bali blue one we had before, but........

I used Bilt Hamber clay bar, Meguiar’s Compound, Autoglym Super Resin Polish and finally Autoglym High Definition Wax, plus tons of Elbow Grease! Very Happy
