The Volvo did 900miles last week so it really needed a clean, I gave it a quick coat of NXT Tech wax last week and was glad to see it lasted.

Before...

Got out my cloths and what not...

Now I decided to use Bilt hamber Autobalm today as my sealant mainly because it was the most durable wax I have at the moment.
My Dad left the hose on overnight last night and we had a buldge on it and I knew if I didn't sort it out now it would burst while Im cleaning the car!

So I gave the alloys a soaking in Autoglyms Custom Wheel Cleaner...

I gave the car a soaking with my Superspray with shampoo plus in it and using a Detail Brush and some paint brushes cleaned all the nooks and cranies that the mitt cant get into.

Nice to see a modern car getting a proper clean rather than going to the local car wash! Looks smart in white too good job :)

You know, the same thing happened to my hosepipe the other day, but I thought 'sod it, let it burst' and it did.

Moral of this story, don't buy cheap hosepipes (especially when you spend so much on cleaning products). Stay safe people!
