Hello,
Well since it was amazing weather and I had a day off I thought I would spend a few hours on the love of my life. I was using a power washer and snow foamed it. Then I sponged soaped it, dried it, waxed it, then polished it. All using Autoglym products.
I was going to clay it but my arms were killing me so I left it there, happy as larry!
What you people think?
Thanks for looking
JD

Probably just listed it wrong, because it would have been a waste of time waxing it if he polished it after. It would have stripped all the wax off

Yeah I think it was HD Wax, not too sure.
They will be going on on Thursday (i.e. when I get paid to buy the bolts). Keep an eye on the thread.

Clay removes all the stff you can't see, using it last will strip off all the polish and wax you've just applied...
