My Rover given a deep clean
 

I thought car washing was done with a sponge, shampoo then polished :shock: I bought a Rover 75, joined this forum, then saw a post pointing to CleanYourCar - this is the result after three weeks.

All products were purchased through CleanYourCar or Halfords.

I havn't got a polisher, so these results are by hand. Actually, I was amazed how well swirls were masked by these products. The pictures were taken late in the day after 8 hours of washing and polishing by hand - my shoulders blooming hurt :D

See picture four on crimewatch UK later this week! :):D

top quality reflection from car. Looks like plenty of elbow grease used there.

I knew should have got the red one i was looking at.

as you live near to me can i being my light blue tourer rould for you to clean.:)

Lovely looking car well done.

Fantastic! and now you must do it all again!
I did mine 6 times in about a fortnight, and the results are amazing!

Mind you, its a great help with such a nice colour, i doubt you would achieve anything like them results with a lesser colour i.e Silver.......

:D Oh here we go, tin hats on!

It does look fantastic, and is a credit to all your hard work.

Even after reading all about how we should clean our cars. I still use a sponge and one bucket. The same sponge does the paint and wheels.
Yes my car has some swirl marks, but to be honest, when washed, it still looks beautiful.
Lifes too short to worry about the swirls, maybe if it was garaged and only used as a second car then I may take more care, but it's my everyday, left outside, child trampled transport that gets washed once a month if it's lucky.
I do love it though, honest.

Well JDC, somebody had to do it. :D

I used to be like that, but I now use a second bucket and a wash mit. The difference is unbeliveable. Wash one panel at a time then rinse the mit out in the clean bucket.

When you've finished, the clean bucket will be almost black. Using one bucket, this is the dirt you keep putting back on the car.

Clean your car too - my shoulders will need a while to relax - about a year :D

I know, but it's my dirt, and I'm loathe to part with it. :lol:
