Cleaned the car today.

Hose'd it down.
Shampoo'd it up! with my washing mits
Hose'd it down again
Drove her down A610 for a faster dry!
Got the wax out put a nice thick layer on

Glossing it tomorrow since i lost track of time and wanted dinner

End results are decent even without the gloss.



Wax on wax off



Thats using turtle products normally, But with auto shampoo.

Shame it will be dirty by tomorrow, keep getting massive lorries full of bricks / dirty flying past since alot of works going on near my area.

piss take
