has arrived and shows signs of staying put for the week so who else spent some time on their car today??

I decided to give mine a good wash and polish, plus popped some rim wax on the new wheels

lol, I had a choice. Either clean the car or clean the house. No chance I'm letting the missus loose on the car with a bucket and sponge so she got the house.  FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

Hope you put some wax on the car, not just polish?

I use FinishKare FK1000p looks good on silver. I cleaned mine an the BH's V6 Eos.

Took some pics of mine but out at moment- will post them tomorrow.

Snow foam, Tardis, IronX, 2 bucket wash, clay then wax. Knackered now!

Edit: looks great by the way Greg!

sorry Dan, need to invest in some decent wax. Any recommendations??

You certainly do. Anything labelled polish cuts the top layer of the paint off - therefore it oxidises very quickly if left unprotected and will need another cut soon.

Personally I use meguiars Hi-Tech Yellow #26 wax this is recommended for dark blue, black or green cars. It was stunning on my oslo blue RR.

I have recently used AG Extra Gloss Protection and after the odd application, was pleased by the results.

Thanks Dan. Got some on the way.  FFRR TD6 HSE

Nice one; the Megs looks great and is a really easy product use. Maybe also order a gift for the OH. Spending all weekend making your car shinier will very quickly land you in the cnut book!

I (think I ) escaped this by doing her car too.

i'm just wondering if its worth all that money and time spent washing and polishing your range when [like gerry said] someone lights a bonfire or it rains and you get crap on your hard work... ... - .- -.
