Took advantage of half decent weather today and gave the car a clean and once over before winter sets in.
Products used:
Meguiars NXT Generation car wash
Mer Windscreen cleaner follwed by Mer Rain away
Mer Bumper and vinyl cleaning gel
Meguiars Endurance High gloss tyre dressing
Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish
Meguiars NXT Tech Wax
Meguiars Ultimate Wax (free sample for applying for a catalogue)

Gave the dash and interior trim a wipe over with Armorall Original Protectant

Got to go to the wholesalers this week for some detailing spray.


Checked coolant, brake fluid, tyres (tread depth and pressures) oil, wipers, washer fluid, battery (voltage and connections) and all lights. All locks lubricated with a silicone based spray. Most of these are done on a weekly basis so only needed a quick glance over. Still got a few more things to do, but made a good start today.

Took car out for a drive and took a few pics.
 

 

 

 

These were the best photos, it was a bit windy and camera kept on moving about so these are slightly blurry.
 

 

 


Hope you enjoyed looking at them as much as the other half did having me out the house while I was doing it all.

Daytime pics added
 

 

 

 

 


And a few beading shots

Looks good mate Smile

shiny shiny

i spent ages on my last weekend Razz think it took about 5 or 6 hours to wash it, wash it again, clay it, polish it, wax it, wax it, wax it again, take each wheel off individually and clean the front and backs of them and tidy up other little bits Razz hadnt been cleaned for about 10 weeks lol and wheels hadnt been done for about a year and a half!

was well worth it up until I looked at it this morning and it was covered in pine needles :'(

Cheers, the cameras a 15mp, it's just on night mode it takes longer to take the picture and with the wind it kept blowing about. I got a lovely shot of the night sky when it blew it over.
