Two Days Cleaning...

[bailes1992]

Day One

Stood outside for five mins and realized how cold it is. So went inside, put on a Jumper, a hoodie and then a coat...

Better than the -1* I saw in the 406 at 6.30am this morning mind you

 

So got the PW out...

So washed it down with the super spray and a good blast with the PW...

Gave it a wash down using the TBM and Shampoo plus and noticed around the ehxuats the dirt was stuck on. I guess from all the heat which is where the SRP comes in...

Now SRP will get anything off . How many people know it will disolve tar

Found the volvo's first stone chip...

So cracked on with SRP, treating all the tar spots first and leaving them for 30s and then using an MF Applicator breaking down the polish to turn the car from cream back to white. Followed by two coats of NXT.

Then the sun set...

And it was dark

 

So chucked all my towels in the wash, and tidied up some of my kit. I think another order from Mr Glossmax is in order soon
