First Proper Clean
 
New bar of clay arrived this morning, so time to give it a job:cool: First rub over removed loads of contaminates:o, turned the clay green:eek::D
Second pass ended up with the paint as smooth as a baby's berm:cool:
Bit of SSR2 then polish, glaze, wax & finally a coat of Hydro Silex. Don't think this cars seen wax for years:o

A polisher & a fettler:p::D

Clay Bar, tried and failed, such a tedious procedure. Perhaps I gave up too quickly?

That has come up beautifully! I’m longing for the time I get a good day free to give my car this treatment. Try for at least twice a year. Haven’t managed yet.

Very nice. And with that low mileage, I'm not jealous at all :o.

Nice to know she's found a good home :}.

Thanks Cliff, only done the tops for now, started raining:duh: Interior still to do. After washing the engine bay, it's surprisingly good:eek: changed a few slam panel bolts for stainless, but it'll never get like yours:o :D
