Default Anybody want to detail these cars ?

Just returned from Lanzarote and couldnt resist taking pics of these 2 cars, firstly we have a Fiat Punto with clearcoat blistered presumably due to the heat although probably never had any paint protection applied. There were quite a few cars like this and the majority of all cars seen had scuffs and scratches of some sort:



Next we have a beautiful VW Golf Cabriolet, one careful lady owner:








What do you reckon, 2 bucket wash method, polish, glaze then wax, or can it only be saved by the "pimp my ride" team ?

Welcome back, Rob. Hope you had a good time.

See any 75/ZTs? If you did, I hope they were in better condition than these 2..

I know it's not a car but couldn't resist as it was chained to the lamp post, taken in Fuereventura. Don't know what was worth more the bike or lock.





Cheers Keff
