A Saturday with OctaneGuy

Friday night we gave our car a wash in preparation for spending Saturday with Richard at ShowCarDetailing and getting a full detail. The Mini is our daily driver, not to mention only car - so we both took the 82 mile trip down there to watch and help.

I can't thank Richard enough for patiently sharing his knowledge and expertise with us. It's really quite amazing to see what goes into a good detailing session.

We used Dawn for the double washdown, Swirl on the rotary, followed by more swirl on a PC and Amigo with PC's followed by Epic and Clarity on the glass. And of course BlackWow on the plastic trim

Here are some photos, these and others are on my Flickr Pages

Richard - if you have any photos you want to add to this thread, please do. BTW I've got a couple of nice portraits of you from my 50mm lens. Shall I post them up here, or email them to you?
