Gave mine a wash and seal today. Also did a paint correction on rear doors, having done the rest of the van a while back. I then polished and sealed those.

Nothing glamorous.
Removing stone chips.


Just about to do the final sanding of the filling primer.
Then a few coats of candy white.
Clearcoat tomorrow.

This is hard when you don't have a clue like me...
What did everyone do before youtube?

Is your van from Martin Atkinson cars? If so, what are they like in general? Do they modify the vans themselves??
