This was done on Friday, and sadly I've had the misfortune of someone overtaking me and several other cars on the hard shoulder, spraying the car with sand and small stones. So the front end's due to be repainted this month as it's now badly chipped. Bumper, grille, head panel, hood, driver's side fender and mirror caps will be repainted. Quite said, considering I just got it painted in December but I suppose that's just my luck.
That said, I started off with washing the exterior using 3 times the recommended strength of Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash, which was followed up with Meguiar's G1016 Clay Bar Kit.
Next step was Meguiar's #205 Ultra Finishing Polish, applied with the W7006 Soft Buff Cutting Pad. Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze was then applied by hand, followed by #26 Yellow Wax Paste, applied using the W9207 Finishing Pad with my orbital buffer.
