Cleaned my car again got into a habit of doing it every saturday Laughing just ordered a load of interior stuff and some wash microfibers cant have to many Cool

Ok a quick run down of what i used and what not

Used a lambs wool wash mitt and the 2 bucket method, aswell as Dodo juice born to be mild shampoo. Then dried it off with a meguiars water magnet drying towel. Then fully dried with 2 meguairs microfibers. I then used super resin polish by autoglym on it. And topped it all off with super natural wax applied with my fingers (havnt done all the car yet just bonnet,boot,doors)

Getting it all ready for FCS Smile I have yet to get my coilovers and HOPEFULLY some euro alloys.

 

 


The wax Smile wanted to do an arty photo Laughing

microfibre wash mitt is an alternative to a sponge, however if you like using a sponge you can get a micofibre sponge which i would reccomend i use one.

Two bucket method is when one bucket with shampoo mix and one with plain water is used, sponge/mitt is squeezed in clear bucket between dunks in shampoo bucket to avoid getting the cleaning water dirty Smile

ah yea thought so, i use a power washer first to get mosst the dirt off, then i use a sheep skin wash mitt in shampoo waxy water bucket and microfiber towels to dry atm. guess it does the same job? or should i invest the extra 50p and add another bucket to that process?

car looks great by the way mate, i know there's some wheels that would suit that. 2 secs ill get a link.

www.madmotors.co.uk/ca...18756.html something like that could be cool, they do them in 15s too and in black red and gold and white, not sure what the fitment is though, but the blue could go with your checkered roof, quite euro skater punk Wink
