Just starting to get mine reasonably clean, I missed doing a post winter complete once over, but as it's been waxed within an inch of it's life over the years, what I thought was grotty all came off fairly easily!
- Quick jet wash on the roof, then quick wash using snow foam, Bilt Hamber auto wash, etc..
- Autoglym fabric roof cleaner - Had to do this twice, the roof was 90% clean, but when wet any minor areas are invisible until dried, so had to do two rounds!
- Demon wheel alloy wheel cleaner (all I had to hand, burned the end of my finger, so defintely would not want to leave on for too long)
- Quick Clay using a clay mitt / G3 detailer
- Quick DA over some scratches that have appeared in what is the softest lacquer in the world (previous two owners had some paint done which is not to my quality), got those nearly acceptable, but don't want to go through the lacquer
- Quick coat of Armor All shield (found 2 new bottles and just love how this goes on, trim/glass etc not a problem) was going to use something more modern and wax , but that's for another day..
- Autoglym Fabric Roof protector
- Armor All the alloys for some protection.
- Autoglym Metal Polish + pan scourer for the worst of it on the stainless exhaust tips
- Autoglym Glass cleaner for the fabric roof protector overspray
Took me the whole day on and off, nice weather for it and the ultimate compliment, some of the neighbours inlaws were visiting and they came over to talk about the car and how nice it looks.. My Mrs just laughs and says "it's a bloke thing isn't it"
