Title: Break in the weather yesterday
Post by: X01X on 27 October 2011, 11:48

Ok i've been trying to get some time recently to clean my car but every time me and my mate tried, it poured down with rain but NOT yesterday  :wink:

Here is my boot full off the stuff we used:

This had everything we need from wax to tyre dressing.

We did both cars, my mk3 and my mates corsa b.

We washed both cars, using the 2 bucket method. Let them dry, polished mine twice and waxed it once. My mates missus also helped in every stage (had to apologise a bunch of tmes yesterday as i ripped into her but was funny as hell) and also cleaned my windows and put linseed oil on my abs plastic.

I didn't take shots during the process just result shots.

Heres my mk3:

yes but that was already in there. Sole intention was to clean hub caps if we did another car. Both these had alloys, so no sponges went near them lol
