This was booked in for a 1 day Enhancement Detail which consists of just a single stage machine polish. On the soft Honda paint this did a great job of clearly up the swirls and some of the scratches present resulting in about 90% correction leaving behind just some deeper random scratches

First up wheels, tyres and arches were cleaned using Billberry and Megs Super Degreaser

Vehicle was then given a foam with a citrus degreaser and worked into all badges and panel gaps and pressure rinsed off
