Thanks. I am biased but Lapiz looks great when it is clean but it is almost as painful as Black to keep the swirls and marks at bay  :sad:

Get yourself one of these.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0001K9ZAU/ref=pe_1909131_77697121_tnp_email_TE_AMZLdp_1

Great for low level wheel work, had two heights, wouldn't be without mine, saves your knees.  :smiley:

First maintenance wash since the easter spring detail.  It had picked up a lot of sandy residue from recent rains, so two stage pre-wash to get the maximum off with minimum touch to prevent swirls.

ValetPro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner spritz on wheels and tailpipes
ValetPro Advanced Neutral Snow Foam all over
DI pressure wash rinse
ValetPro Citrus Wash all over
DI pressure wash rinse
Wheels cleaned
2 bucket wash with Swissvax Car Bath shampoo
Rinse and final open ended hose rinse
Towel dabbed dry
Mothers Mag polish on tailpipes
Achem Hi-Shine on tyres

+1. I always enjoy doing the first wash after my car's been treated to the full works (decon, polish, wax) as it's really easy to clean :smiley:.
