Clean Sunday

[Booth11]

After over a month without a wash car was pretty dirty. Today I finally managed to find some time to wash it and top up the protection.  Was a very dull and cloudy day - perfect for a spot of detailing.

Snow foamed twice
Rinsed with pressure washer
Washed wheels
Iron X wheels
Rinsed
2 bucket wash
Dry
Waxed - DoDo Juice Blue Velvet Pro
Wheels - sealed with C2V3
Tailpipes polished
Tyres dressed
Glass cleaned

Car started off like this:






 

 










First up - prepared the wheels with a good spray of Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner.



Then gave the car a double dose of Valet Pro Advanced Snow Foam – did it twice as the car was so dirty to get as much muck off as possible without touching it.





The double snow foam got a fair amount of dirt of and looked like this after just jet washing the foam off.



Washed the wheels thoroughly.  Followed with Iron X on the wheels to remove brake dust and to take wheels back to bare, in preparation for some Gtechniq C2V3 later.





Rinsed thoroughly and then did 2 bucket wash, rinse and dried whole car.

Car all ready for some protection.



Applied the wax, and buffed off.  In between waxing/buffing the panels, I applied 2 coats of C2V3 to the wheels.

Finished off with some metal polish on the tailpipes and tyre dressing and a clean of the glass.

3 hours later ended up looking like this.  No doubt will be short-lived but glad its done.  Time for a cuppa now……

Such a pain with the rain!  Still I bet you're glad you've done it anyway. 

It was drizzling when I embarked on mine but stopped and rain held off.  But the clouds looked very menacing and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get the wax on it.  Luck was on my side today.

Cheers Dan. 

Took 3 hours all in but spent ages cleaning the bloody Pretorias!!!  They are not difficult to clean but fiddly and never known a wheel to show dirt the way they do.   I took it 100 metres down the road to clear the rust off the brake discs (hate rusty discs) and they picked up so much dirt in that short distance, had to wipe them down again before getting the camera out.

WoWo gear was out in force today.    I took the precaution of using 2 WoWo lambswool wash mitts today which I don't usually do.  One for the upper sections and another for the dirtier lower sections, to minimise risk of swirling, just because the car was so dirty and gritty.  Also WoWo drying towels, microfibres, glass cloth and wheel mitt.  All performed perfectly. 👍
