peter richards Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 first spray all the lower panels and wheel arches with citrus degreaser and apply snow foam, leave to dwell for a few minutes then hose off . then wash with mitt and sonax gloss shampoo.2 buckets dry with cobra guzzler . alloys cleaned with the remaining sonax and megs spoke brush i tried a new polish today its called race glaze , and duragloss, apply with a damp aplicator pad , and remove with a quality micro fibre cloth, avoiding circular motions then all the black bits with autoglym gel, tyres nielsens tyre shine . glass autoglym glass cleaner .:)claying is another stage prior to polishing , but i had already done it a few weeks earlier (helps remove surface contaminants ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain2010 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 That looks spanking! How long does that take to do a proper job like that? I always end up getting bored after 5 mins and rushing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 About what I do thanks to your products What's this Snow Foam then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 just had it through pete , its a pre wash helps loosen dirt and muck before you actually go in with the mitt, another good washing aid to reduce the risk of marking your paint , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 just had it through pete , its a pre wash helps loosen dirt and muck before you actually go in with the mitt, This is something that started to worry me after the regular winter mess. I just hoped the jet wash would blast most of it off. Sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 it works well , i have a karcher foam bottle which attatches to my pw lance , put about 30mls in fill with water and off you go. yes i know what you mean , by doing this you dont have to get the pw to close , just rinse off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
