Its nice when things work out as planned. Was planning to give the car it's first proper (2 bucket) wash today since 1st June(!
![shocked :shocked:](https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/Smileys/modern/shocked.gif.pagespeed.ce.qWyOSHp_pK.gif)
), and the weather held out this morning. Dropped daughter off at childminder a bit earlier than ususal and then I had 2.5hrs before I needed to get ready for work.
Usual process followed:
- Pressure washer rinse
- VP advanced snow foam and pw rinse
- wash wheels with VP bilberry wheel cleaner, big wheel woolie and wo-wo wheel mit and rinse with pw
- 2 bucket wash with DDJ supernatural shampoo and wo-wo lambswool mit
- pressure washer rinse
- open hose rinse
- towel dry with DDJ/wo-wo towels
- exterior glass clean with AG fastglass and wo-wo glass cloth
The obligatory pics....
Before - the red does hide dirt quite well but it was pretty bad by my standards:

Thought I'd try a couple of different angles today for a change..

including 'the dutch angle' (as it's called in photography... or tilting the camera to you and me

There's still a couple of tiny tar spots here and there and I've discovered a scratch at the bottom of the driver's side rear door, but I think this should polish out as it doesn't catch my nail. There's also 4 or 5 stone chips. I might sort the scratch soon, but the rest will be left to winter prep time.
Now I just need to find time to give the inside a proper clean (although it's not that bad really).
