Christ. You did clean the car before claying, right?
Exactly what I was about to say!
That is excessively dirty! Unless you clayed an artic with that I think it probably needed some more washing first

Lol I think u need to turn it 'just a little' bit more often. It's not called clay as a tip to make each side brown.

Just gave the Lolvo its first wax since buying it just before Christmas.
Autoglym bodywork shampoo conditioner, super resin polish, and old bottle of Turtlewax platinum car wax, Wonder Wheels, and Autoglym tyre dressing.

Think like every other person in the world who gave their car a wash today ...
Quick wash for both, both have got a fair bit of wax left from their winter detailing back around new years so just a quick wash every week keeps them looking tidy. Was just such nice weather had to snap a pic

It's been over 12 months since I last applied 476s, it's done a fine job at keeping the paint protected. Given the beautiful weather has started I've applied a fresh coat. No clay bar needed, paintwork was buttery smooth anyway.
My alloys were refurbed a while back and since that time the weather started to go sour and I haven't really had the chance to properly clean them for weeks on end leading to brake dust and grim building up on the spoke creases and corners that would not scrub out and left a faint yellow tinge.
Comma wheel cleaner is brilliant stuff for getting rid of /everything/ and leaving only a clean surface.
Going for a drive later to get the discs looking normal

Ah you don't need to hang it You could put it somewhere else out of view. Personally I use Neutradol (like the smell) but those blue satchels that normally go into home air fresheners (Ambi Pure) work really well too and sits inside the centre cubby hole below the armrest for 60 days of fragrance.
