I'm off to the ring tomorrow morning so decided to give the Clio some TLC before i depart. I initially intended to give it a proper polish and wax however i ran out of time due to other commitments before the trip. Sorry for the poor quality iPhone photos.
I'm no expert at this so any comments or tips would be welcome.
Started off with the interior which was hoovered, poorboys natural look was applied to the plastics:

![686bceab.jpg 686bceab.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54078-28556b3529172851253ee46668b2e8ee.jpg)
Then wheels were removed and apc was agitated with a brush:
![ea4c918b.jpg ea4c918b.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54079-c8bf66a50bf26a5a50b1f00fbb0c3c71.jpg)
After the arches were sealed with a spray sealant:

This is how they came out:

Wheels were taken off, washed, polished with SRP and wheel sealant was applied:

![6216a6c2.jpg 6216a6c2.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54083-1bc872a581f82c056c517c7faec55b64.jpg)
Final wipe down with AG aqua wax:
![3d48c720.jpg 3d48c720.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54084-1b6cf3719a0a02d4ec8cfa1e65aca7f0.jpg)
Then it was time to move on to the paintwork, first the car was sprayed down with APC :
![81ed140f.jpg 81ed140f.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54085-c9a3226f32de267f3710b9e62548e918.jpg)
After it was washed using the 2 bucket method and Sonax shampoo:
![c6fe6925.jpg c6fe6925.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54086-1930ce505911e99ad86a0ec168533ec9.jpg)
Iron X was applied, did a good job on my car:
![4aa9b410.jpg 4aa9b410.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54087-441a20dbf46cfd5a58d0314a23f3e0c7.jpg)
![3a69435a.jpg 3a69435a.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54088-ae540544727023e74a5defe163c4fb07.jpg)
Car was re washed :
![ffbf186f.jpg ffbf186f.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54089-89b98ef67c295b3cc7d860050328e4a7.jpg)
Then it was clayed using Dodo juice clay and some speed detailer:
![cae28dae.jpg cae28dae.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54090-e5fb3f1a00909f3a710950ce836aaa2a.jpg)
Result from just claying:
![7e90cdbf.jpg 7e90cdbf.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/54/54091-3ea5b6f0175e7f2173cf74f49d66b0f5.jpg)
After the claying it was washed again and dried. Rubber seals and vinyl roof were treated to some natural look:

As i said earlier i was intending to polish and wax but time was tight so finished off with a coat of Chemical guys hybrid V7, here are the final results:
