Bath Time!
Washed off the airport car park dirt and grime. Sat for 2 weeks in Gatwick car park and then a week’s daily use at home left it pretty grubby.
Pre wash phase
Sprayed windscreen, bonnet and front with Auto Finesse Citrus Power Bug cleaner.
Wheels sprayed with ValetPro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner.
Snow foam next – ValetPro Advanced Neutral
After a few mins dwelling
And snow foam rinsed off
Wheel wash with Swisswax Car Bath Shampoo, Wheel Woollies and WoWo Wheel mitt
2 bucket wash – SV Car Bath, WoWo and Lambswool mitt (no pics)
Pressure wash rinse followed by open ended hose rinse to leave mimiunum standing water
Dried with WoWo Drying Towels and Metrovac Vac n Blo air dryer.
Pre wash and main wash phase complete, moved onto final touches. Finished off by polishing tailpipes with Mothers Mag and Aluminium polish, dressed tyres with Achem Hi Shine Longlife Tyre Dressing. Removed a few stubborn marks on paintwork with Bouncers Done and Dusted QD. Finally, gave the whole car a going over with Swissvax Quick Finish QD to add a bit of gloss and refresh the Swissvax Cystal Rock wax applied 3 weeks ago.
Cleaned up okay - results

Car is in need of a good decontamination and a DA polish though - as some residue that wouldn’t shift and there’s a line of bird footprints across the corner of the bonnet which are etched into the clearcoat! Looking to do a full detail in Sept/Oct but will have to do until then.
