After spending saturday making the outside look good...I spent an hour cleaning under the bonnet after seeing what kells has done to his! just need to paint the rocker cover and clean some other bits (like the bonnet catch etc)
After buying the new wax I thought I would put my meguires stage 1 cleaner and stage 3 wax to good use and used this on the metal parts and then autoglym bumpered the plastics...I like the results even the underside of the bonnet shines now!



and Di no excuses for not sorting yours now!

yep... drop the extra microfibre cloths... you will get those in the collinite kit

you can drop the AG super resin polish as you are claying and then waxing... AG super resin polish is also very harsh and can cause swirls

you can change the poorboys super slick suds to bilt hambler - best shampoop i have used so far!
