These pics are actually quite old, I did this soon after getting the car, but life dictated when I would be able to get around to updating this thread.
Started with foam, Valet pro Citrus foam wash
let that soak for a bit
Tried to clean the gaps, door jams and rubbers where neccesary
Rinsed, then did the normal 2 bucket wash. Then moved on to claying, the car had alot of contamination. I used Iron X to assist in breaking some of the contaminants down, but then I ran out of Iron X, so i had to continue and accept the fact that i was probably not going to remove the tough contaminants.....

And the polishing/ correction, I was not too worried about achieving major correction especially since the car is a daily. The paint didnt look bad at all, but I really struggled to get decent shots especially on white paint .
Before
After
Then also cleaning and polishing the finer details

Cleaned the tailpiece, This vehicle has the satin silver tip, which I think I will probably end up polishing out at the rate I clean the tailpiece lol
Then was onto a final wax, collonite was the trusted choice for me. Easy on and easy off.
