Car's looking good, would be interesting to see it in daylight.

What was involved (any paint correction) and how much did you pay?

There was a full paint correction, wax, ceramic coating etc etc.

I paid a pretty penny tbf but well worth it.

Has any of you used Megs waterless spray? Sounds like a good option for a light dirt/dust clean as it apparently isolates the dirt particles and protects the paint when wiping off

I tried it once, only on light dirt & I used plenty of microfibre cloths, seemed OK.

That was on a white car with a waxed finish not ceramic, so colour was a little forgiving if it added a few swirls, although I didn't notice any at the time. Not sure if it has fillers in the mixture which will hide the swirls for a while.

Seeing as your car never seems dirty maybe worth trying to get the dust off Try the lower rear wing behind the tyre as a test bed first see how it goes not the middle of the bonnet!!

Wouldn't use it on my black car though.
