I've been busty today cleaning my car and giving it the good once over.
I hovered out and dusted the interior. This was not too bad, most of the dirt was on the matts or on the drivers seat cover.
I then soaked the car with a good one bucket of luke warm water to get rid of the loose surface durt.
Then I washed the car using the 'two bucket method' of warm water (first time of doing this) and using my new Microfibre Noodle Wash mitt: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...dlewashmit.jpg as well as using my white microfibre megs one.
And they both worked a treat. much better.
Washed the suds off with cold water Then I dried the car.
Next I got out the Megs quick detailer clay bar and detailed the car. The car was quite clean from the earth fall out. Once I had done that I washed the car again and it looked a million bucks - I think they do when they are wet. You don't see all the paint imperfections, door dings etc when wet. I then dried it off for the last time.
I then applied the Megs liquid gold class wax. Started with the roof, bonnet and bootlid and worked my way around the car. Reason for this as by this time it was getting cold and damp and this is where the dampness apears first - hence why I started there first
I allpied this all by hand, no PC here, well not yet any way. The took it off with a microfibre cloth.
I then Did the tyres with the Megs hot shine tyre spray and dresed the tyres and skirts with this and wiped off excess.
I did not get time to do the windows, so if it is nice tomorrow, I shall do them then.
I started at about 11:30 and I finished at 15:15 with a 20 min lunch break.
My arm are ready to fall off, they are do tired. Not looking forward to tomorrow morning with them.
Heres a few pics I took of my hard work...

The white line going from the nearest corner to the middle of the roof is NOT a scratch, it is a jet traill from a passing plane

and one I had a play with and using photoshop for whet it is ment for


Not bad considering I am not a pro detailer.

Looking good Darren

That clay bar makes all the difference and gives you a great base to start from.

Thanks all.
My hard work has paid off. But this colour that I have, Deep Blue Mica (same as SSS scooby) takes very little effort to get a good result...as they say the 'results speak for them selves'.
