Default OCD

I thought Id make the most of a glorious day today and give the S its first full "hit"

Started with a "fairy liquid" wash to strip the P21s off.
Then clayed the entire car, I was quite shocked at the amount of crap on a 4 month old car
Wash again, microfibre dry
I then applied a layer of Meguirs paint cleanser, for that squeaky clean base finish
I usually go for the Meguirs three stage system, but today I decided to use some Autoglym SRP to get rid of some fine swirls that the supplier valet left
Then another first, I applied a layer of NXT wax to finish.
Results (enjoy):-





Quite impressed with the results with the NXT











And after all that hard work we went out for a drive and undid all that hard work







And back home for a nice brew and sit down

That Looks great, almost as nice as mine

I did the same thing today more or less, the most back breaking thing I found was getting rid of all the little dots of tar with bug/tar remover.

edit: What does OCD mean?

MIP in this case, seeing how Pie spent 5 hours cleaning probably means obsessive cleaning disorder!

hehe and yes imagine me turning up in a thread like this

Look forward to meeting some time for sure
