Yes - when I cleaned it on Sunday I gave it a thorough spraying with Mer shampoo through the pressure hose for just that reason - does not bear thinking about what damage that stuff could do. There is a lot to be said for polishing on a regular basis just so that when cr@p does land on the car, it washes off easily.
Currently using Mer although could not find the bottle on Sunday so used some Turtle Wax Extreme - seemed to work well (ie high polish and low effort).
Keep on toying with giving it the sort of polish it had when Dave owned it - I think he probably had it clayed before selling it: it just looked like a new car when I got it!
90% correction, VK - I'd say there are some very small swirls but you have to look at them in direct sunlight with sunglasses on to spot them. I don't believe it is possible to ever get 100%
Have bought some bits from PB including the Tardis - pre-clay cleanser. Also bought some wheel sealant for the 19s. Gotta get them nice before putting them on.
phew I get about 90% too. OOOO what sealant did you buy? A waning with the Tardis try and keep it away from any glued on badges I was taking the piss with the stuff when I gave the V40 a wash the other week I wasn't using it properly at all cuz I couldn't be bothered on that car, I sprayed it all over the car (wrong for a start) and left it for ages lol the 1.9D badge fell off.
Migliore Wheel Seal - 236 ml - hoping for a longer term result than the rim wax I currently have. I may yet use both.
Thread moved to Detailing section as it's now gone all technical nerd.
Have to confess I have not heard of that. Is it good?
Just found this on Google: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=71201
Picked up a B&D jetwash from Woolies when they closed for about £20 reduced from £80 something. Ideal for this stuff as has little dispenser bottle.
Rim wax sounds like something you would buy in Soho. But seriously, when the Volans finally get refurbed is there a recommended treatment to keep the brake dust from sticking - or will I have to make that trip to Soho (or Amsterdam)?
Look at this and tell me if it doesnt look good lol [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8NbVP3Y100"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8NbVP3Y100[/ame]
Yeah Im afraid waxing is the best way to protect your wheels once done make sure you clean them once a week with soapy water.
Reflections do show up well on dark cars don't they. Heres my old t4 (almost standard at the time these pics were taken.
