    It's a year and a day since I collected the car from Aberdeen and unusually I hadn't detailed it since. The interior has been done twice. This was a 9 hour marathon over two days.

    Yesterday was wash, claybar and then wash again.

    Today was Meguiars Ultimate compound using the Daspro 6, then Polish with 50kal again with the machine and finally Collinite wax put on by hand.

    Bluewater hides the paint dirt really well but it was pretty filthy.

    Feeling all of my 56 years! Time for a sit down!

    Sounds to be thoroughly exhausting but worthwhile work!

    Well done! I keep meaning to tackle the Disco but know it’s a similar investment of time.

    Must’ve been very rewarding though!

    Any more pics of the end result?

    Do you want a new-ish 3 series to do this to?!?

    Your motor looks amazing here, a cracking reward for the time spent cleaning and polishing!

    An excellent job well done there.

    I know all about how tiring it can be - but the results are very satisfying.
