In a word..."knackered"....got going at around 5.30am with the Spray & Clay...then a thorough rinse off and dry...then took the big dog and the Meguiars "Swirl" and gave the entire car a going over...then the microfibre buffing...then applied the wheel wax, and while that was "drying to a haze"...applied Meguiars NXT 2.0 Tech Wax to the entire car....back to the now hazed wheels for a buff and then back to the body for the final buffing...6 hours later...I still have the interior left to do...vacuum and leather treatments...but I think I've just lost too much speed.... :sunny
