Default Perfect day for cleaning

I cleaned the car today for the first time in nearly 2 months :shock: spent over 5 hours giving the it a good going over,used 2 clay bars and 3/4 bottle of detailer and wax :mrgreen but it was worth it.

Wheels before




after



and the car after its treatment

Looking nice and clean, and have to agree it was a lovely day to wash the car although mine got the economy wash yesterday

I just can't get into the clay thing, I've tried and it just bores me so well done for perservering

Wrap it in cotton wool or bubble wrap

Great effort. Looks like it all paid off in the end.
