Looking lovely and shiny :D
So what was the cleaning routine/products used?
Did mine the other day and wasn't pleased with the results (too many scratches :( )

Wash, clay, wash again. Zymol cleaner wax, Autoglym gold sealer and Turtlewax Hard shell. Worth dye was used on some of the plastics and Megs tyre gel on window rubbers and some of the hoses in the engine bay. Used Demon shine pour n shine, in a spray bottle to do the wheels. Graham had some trim black stuff to do the engine plastics.

LOL, yeah. The dirt just hides all the scratches, and the big problem is the car was sat under some trees/by bushes for 18 months so the roof is a state with really ingrained crap that has gone too deep I fear. And the wheels are in a state (next job on the list, just got to decide which colour)

I'm told that WD40 is the answer to bird crap stains, has anyone tried it? I've tried various products on the stains on my roof and bonnet (no thanks to a previous owner) without success but have yet to try this.

Great job there guys well done. What Model V70 is it? Not a fan of the aftermarket lights though, would look better with the later style Volvo ones imo. :)

Damn! Think I'm gonna have to do a couple more coats of polish with my new DA otherwise mines gonna look dull parked next to yours Graham! That looks truly stunning. You and Martin have done an incredible job. Hats off to you both. :)

Yours never looks dull Steve, and I'm at work all week so mine will only get a bucket of water thrown over it Saturday night !

Looks stunning, which is always the case when I see pictures of this car tbh. Not a fan of the headlights but you could do alot worse and it's all about making the car your own. I'd put money on the fact that regardless of how good it looks in the pictures it still looks miles better in the flesh which is difficult to believe when it looks that good in the pictures...
