cleaned and polished
« on: 04 May 2008, 16:27 »
Car wasnt particuarly dirty anyway, but as i bought the polish decided to clean it anyway.. It started raining halfway, so was a bit rushed, so will do it again at the weekend. after a good clean i noticed a few light "bits" on the paint, so will be clayed at some point, but i have heard theres something new coming out there. so waiting for that, whatever it may be?

The pictures are taken on my phone so dont really do it justice... i really do need to get a digi cam!

im gonna have a crack with some canubu wax if thats whats it called, can it be bought from halfords or is it special order from some backstreet sweat shop???. Should the car be waxed after that in the normal fashion??.

I find adding a layer of polish before adding the wax gives a better shine  :wink:
