[B]Just a little work needed and the interior not THAT dirty!!!
:doublesho

So after 5 hrs and several overheating stops of the hairdryer a van with no stickers but major swirls and sticker outlines.:censored:

Image

Image

Image

so after that a trip to my local motorfactors for new bulbs

Brake bulbs(one was out so replaced both on advice)
Philips silver vision indicator bulbs as the rear orange ones were flaking!! and the fronts looked daft not matching the rest of the vehicle.


Image

Image

And some new wipers nice new Aero ones. :thumb:

Image

Now onto the Machine stage i opted for a 6inch pad and some Final Finish

Few before's

Image

Image

Image

Image



Testing to see if 106FA was up to the job but before that i bought some 3M finesse it its an ok polish but doesnt cut as well as Final Finish so decided on the FF.
Image

Working my way round the van started at 10am finished at 4pm!

Image

Image

Image

Few afters

Cleansed with Dodo Juice Lime prime

Waxed with Collinite 845

Trim with AS Trim Wizard

Glass with New Image glass polish

Tyres & Arches with Trim Wizard

And this morning a quick beading shot..
