Went at this today. Washed, detarred, and polished. All the glass was cleaned inside and out (which is a fcukload of glass).
Inside the seats were vacuumed and the floor cleaned. Anyone that knows the inside of these, the floor is awful hard to clean, little raised circles - the crevaces hold the dirt. Got down with a brush and scrubbed the full floor, in around the seats etc.
Finally wiped the dash area and door cards.
This is my only pic. I forgot to take more, wasn't able tbh, my arms were falling off ha.
Doesn't look amazing or anything, there are quite a lot of rust spots above the front windscreen and the wheels are gone awful bad with rust. Apart from that it's in tip top shape for a 2008 with 190k miles - I think it's around that.

My job was 'mini' in comparison to that bus!
The OH's MINI hadn't been cleaned in many many months. It's being in and out of garages all this year trying to sort a reoccurring issue. With that hopefully now sorted it deserved a good bath, as always I forgot to take before pics. It was bad enough for family members to write "clean me" on it!
So I washed it, detarred it, washed it again, once over with 50cal cover up and sealed again with natty's paste wax.
Treated the trim with new look gel, may invest in c4 though as the arches fade quickly.
Not the greatest pics as I was to lazy to move it off the driveway. The wheels were caked in brake dust, took me 3 times going over to get it to where there are and they still aren't perfect! May break out the steam cleaner.

What do you think of Maguire Ultimate Detailer ?
Pretty happy with it to be honest, does the job perfectly and smells great!Is Korrosol widely available? I have particles embedded in some paintwork from when I drove on sticking/work brake pads

Probably the last one of the Summer.
A 2002 corolla, current owner bought it late last year (previously had one owner since new) and so I was very doubtfull if it ever seen any paintwork enhancement. Anyway gave it a wash, detar, polish and treated the plastics and tyres. Inside seen a quick hoover and dashboard shine.
A quick before
And 2 afters, brought the paintwork up really well, despite the fact it was a very quick job.
