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

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 .
Nice to know she's found a good home . Cliff

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

Thanks Keith, I got it from a Facecloth link, it's only generally available in the US, but through the link I got a bottle. £30 Fantastic stuff, water just rolls off
