In total due to the vehicle size and only having recently purchased the vehicle about 10hrs was spent on this cleaning process.

I wish I had now got some before shots of the vehicle, however at the time having had a complimentary dealer valet I did not think the difference would be so huge!!

Thanks for reading and having a look.
