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. Meguiars ---------- Gold class shampoo Quick detailer Ultimate quick detailer #16 paste wax #21 sealant ScratchX DC#2 polish Metal Polysh Gold class trim detailer Wash mit 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 Ray

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....... Oh here we go, tin hats on!

If I were to do it another 6 times, I wouldn't be able to move my arms for a month, and as a signaller that could be embarrasing Your car must be like a mirror!
