As Ive been away from home for the last 3 weekends........

.......I decided I could do worse than spend my entire saturday cleaning my car Shocked

I didnt originally intend to avoid the family for 5 and a half hours, but it worked out quite well Laughing

Started by using a foam lance to apply degreaser,
pressure wash
Applied snow foam
pressure wash
Shampoo (2BM Thumbs Up )
rinse
dry
Clay bar/detailing spray
applied poor boys black hole show glaze (mmmm smells of grape)
buff off.
vinyl protector on all exterior plastic
tyre dressing,
didnt get around to the Dodo supernatural 100% carnuba wax.
maybe tomorrow?

As a token gesture I cleaned the other halfs "pious", although that just got a deagrease/foam/shampoo



Car now looks considerably better than the day I recieved it from the dealer.

It must have been a bit warmer with you P than the +1 it was here today - I braved just long enough with the garden hose and a bucket with Zip wax in it to get all the grit that our council seems to have been using instead of salt off the car before I froze! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Must have been something in the air today, I did mine, although took no photo's yet.

Snow foam
Pressure wash
Shampoo (2 bucket of course) with lambswool wash mitt
Dried off
Machine applied AG Super Resin Polish
Machine buffed off
Machine applied AG Extra Gloss Protection (odd stuff, first time I used it)
Hand buffed off
Applied mer bumper/rubber gel (smells great) to all plastics.

This is the first major session she's had since I bought her. Although could do with a clay session when its a bit warmer.
