Cheers....It's not looking too bad now....

Yours would look similar Pete if you'd not actually took it 2 miles deep!.....

Suppose the mud keeps the dirt off....like your thinking....

2009 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Santorini Black

Nice job on that, good finish

Only reccomendation would be to use some polish inbetween the clay and wax stage to give a nice mirror to coat with protective wax, the wax will bond with the polish better than bare paint and last longer. Also, after claying you should rewash the car to remove any clay marring or debris left on the surface. Great job tho, looks lovely and wet. 2009 Westminster. Mariana black with ivory leather.

Not the most flattering reflection...a bit like one of those mirrors at the funfair

If it ain't broken, fix it till it is.

This is why wax is important. If applied correctly, it will form a layer between the dirt and paint that will stop the dirt 'sticking' to the paint. The better (more expensive) the wax, the greater this effect will be. I only have to do a very basic wash once a week to maintain the finish. I would usually expect to have to re-do the wax every 6 months or so, I tend to do october and April for the 'full monty' cleans, then basic wash and dry in between.

The other added bonus to good quality carnauba wax is it will stop uv damage to paint (think of the red cars that go pink, this is uv damage). It really pays to protect your paint as much as possible, and will be infinitely cheaper than resprays! 2009 Westminster. Mariana black with ivory leather.
