Moreee Cleaning...

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... Kerbing courtesy of my Mum :rolleyes:

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. So I cleaned the car using TBM with Shampoo Plus and then clayed it.

And this is what it looked like after a coat of Auto Balm...

Dressed the tyres... Then cleaned the exhaust with 00# wire wool and megs NXT tech polysh... Then everything that has place was put back in it and I went and ate my chicken curry before doing this write up :)

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!
