Double Anniversery *with photos

Well that's the car wash and polished

Started 5pm for 3hrs last night, foamed, rinsed, washed 2bm, rinsed, wolf chemical deironizer, rinsed, de tared, rinsed, clayed, rinsed

Then started this morning at 7:30, washed and dried, machine polished with my G220 and gloss it polish, couldn't correct paint as it was a flat light and couldnt make out the swirls or scratches, just finished polishing the boot and the rain started

Had 30min break to eat and then back out for wheels and tires

Rain forecast later but the final finish needs to be dry for 24 hours, so I'll show you the pics once the body wrap is done

Oh it's 2 years since the car was registered today and me and the mrs have been married for 9years today too

No better way to spend the anniverserys Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

A few photos of my body wrap

Click image to enlarge

Was it worth it? Yes, but 12 hours of cleaning is too much
I think the body wrap gives it a great shine, will bead water which will hose off making cleaning so much faster, but needs to be applied to a uber clean surface, which meant a lot of cleaning, ipa wipe down and no rain for 24 hours

Anyway

To my new nano sealant, wolf chemicals Body wrap

2015 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Orkney Grey

Fantastic job but a bit OCD for me - still don't like the roof rack. Unbalances the car to my mind MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

While it was taped up, I would have sprayed it Lago Grey ...................... Sorry

It's looking good, I'm not one to go further than a bucket of shampoo and a wax once a year but I would pay to have that done. It looks to have a bit of depth in the shine.
