You do realise that the local squadron of seaguls are performimg their pre-take off checks and planning their bombing strategy at this very moment, don't you

Seriously though, folks, when you go to these lengths to clean a car presumably the finish is longer lasting than a normal wash and polish? Has anyone found this to be so in the good ol' British climate?

Funny you should say that TF, I washed the car the other day, and then gave the bonnet, wings and nose a serious waxing.(time constraints and all that) Now a few days later, the front end is noticeably cleaner looking than its tail...

Once the first big clay, clean, polish, seal and wax has been done, you settle into a normal routine. Wash weekly, followed by a detail spray (spray on, wipe off) to bring back the just waxed look. Every few months, polish and wax the car. couple of time a year, clay the car - doesn't take long to do.

If you have never clayed the car, you will be amazed how much easyer it is to polish and wax a car. Claying the car gives a glass smooth surface, so washing and polishing requires far less effort.

If you car is garaged, the sealant/wax should last a few months, a bit less if the car is left outside.
