After 3 weeks of neglect, gave it a maintenance wash to tide it over until the full spring detail. 

Bilberry pre-soak on dirty wheels


ValetPro Advanced snow foam followed by VP Citrus Wash


WoWo detailing brushes on bolt covers and behind spokes.



 
After the bucket wash, Mothers Mag & Aluminuim polish on tailpipes


Clean again










Tucked away up side of house to avoid the dreaded hockey pitch irrigation spray which usually coats nice clean car with dirty water 2 mins after drying off!

Looks as stunning as ever! Makes me feel guilty as mine is pretty mucky inside and out. Perhaps next week :whistle:

Thanks Watts.

Lol, that's what I was saying for last 3 weeks, but couldn't take it any longer!  All being well get started on spring detail next weekend.  Have already warned family I'll be incommunicado for the duration.  :laugh:

Just a fairly thorough wash done today, the inside can wait a bit longer. Also tried out my new QD, Bouncers Done and Dusted being, well, done, I thought I'd give some Chemical Guys Speed Wipe a go. Impressed with how easy it was to apply and buff off and it left a good gloss but on balance I think I prefer Bouncers.

Beautiful Watts.  :cool:  Knew you couldn't leave it for long, lol.

Agree about the QD.  I have both which live in boot of the car, and they are both brilliant QD's, best I've found, but Bouncers just slightly edges it...just.

Thanks :smiley: I'm certainly not disappointed with the Speed Wipe! Next time I might do a bit of a test just to see which one I definitely prefer as I think the Bouncers might not be quite so quick to buff off. So it might come down to laziness  :laugh:
