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...
So I lined up the products I wanted to use today...
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...
Clayed it and gave it a coat of SRP & EGP...

Thanked 16 Times in 14 PostsI 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.
So I cleaned the car using TBM with Shampoo Plus and then clayed it.

Thanked 2,582 Times in 2,051 PostsYou 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).
