Thanks Rebecca. It's not perfect, but I'm pleased with the results.
The weather was pretty good for detailing, and the neighbours who always make the predictable comments were away on holiday so that was an added bonus; they'd probably think I was mad, spending 3 days cleaning my car!
I actually use a .................sponge on a part of the washing phase
Not on the bodywork or wheels, but I find it's great for washing the plastic wheel arch liners after I've pre-rinsed them. It's the last job I do with my wheel washing water in bucket 3, so I don't transfer any dirt to the wheels though.
Now to tackle the interior. It shouldn't take too long, just a quick wipe with Pootboys Natural Look dressing and, clean the glass and a quick vacuum and all done.
