Default Back in a Ford....sort of......Volvo C30 R-Design Lux

I picked this up on Bank Holiday Monday 30th May......A 2012 (62 plate) Volvo C30 2.0L R-Design Lux in Cosmic White metallic.

Loving it so far and here's my efforts from my first cleaning session last weekend.

It was rinsed down & snowfoamed left that to dwell for a few mins. Rinsed off again & washed using the 2 bucket method & a wash mitt.

The car was Rinsed off again and I left it wet while using a clay bar and quick detailer to do the entire body.

Clay after just going over the bonnet...

Rinsed off again, dried off. Used some Autoglym Intense Tar remover on some stubborn spots.

Once prepped, it was polished using Autoglym SRP & waxed using Autoglym HD Wax.

Pleased with the results

Looks lovely that, another Volvo fan here although of the older variety. I would have a C30 T5 though!

Looks nice, always surprised by the amount of dirt clay can pick up off a "clean" car.
