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(!
), 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
)... yes I did pinch the idea from Rebecca's recent pics
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).
