    My new S60 after my 4 hour valet.

    I didnt realise just how much hard work detailing is. Hats off to you guys who do it day in and day out. 4 hours in total it took me

    I started with a wash, then tardis to get rid of the tar, then clayed, then Super Resin Polish, then Armadilo Wax, then AG Paint Protector. Hope I
    got the last two the right way round.

    Here are some piccys, that dont do the paint justice, but it IS Silver after all. The first four are before and afters



    After



    Before



    After



    A few other shots






    Still feels and looks new after 8 years
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    Thanks for the kind replies guys. Silvers not the best at showing the shine, but then again, it
    doesn't show the dirt like the darker colours

    Now to order a GROM and some 936 paint for my wheel to hide the bloody kerb marks
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    Dunno yet mate. New fronts discs, and a full service are the first things, then a GROM, then maybe new tyres all round as EVERY tyre is different! THEN maybe a remap, I'll give you a shout when Im ready, I'll need some advice



    And thanks again for all the kind replies, loving the Ovlov
