Default car looked grubby so gave it a wash

Car was looking a bit grubby and i've notice some scuffs on the side skirts so gave it another good clean

Started like this


Some scuffs from the kids getting in and out


Several hours later after a wash, polish, bit of correction and general cleaning and faffing




scratches gone



That'll do until it rains again!

Faffing is a trade secret, its a special method of doing things the most akward way possible!

I have full access to every product from maxolen with means cleaning is free

I used the stickystuff remover to get rid of the tar spots from the arches and the bottom of the doors. Washed it with the shampoo with polish. Scratches were removed the best i could with cpcut 5000, would have been better with a machine but its all done by hand. once finished i used violet wax and finished of with liquid detailing wax. windows, wheels, tyres, rubbers and dash were done with the stuff for them. And last but not least, i had a brew
