Looking at that clay there was a load of environmental surface contaminant in your paintwork

Wonder if it had ever been cleaned before

WELL worth the effort though, looking at the other pictures

it would have been in a car wash a few times being a one owner company car.

Looking good! It looks like its sitting quite low at the back?

I would say its a job well done

Going by the first pic I'd say the clay is about right (I know it was washed before claying). It's amazing the filth that builds up apparently unseen over the weeks and months, despite regular washing.

Nice job there though and looking good and shiny!!!!
