Did it last weekend.

As I was posting the gulls dropped 4 packages on it. Thanks to built hamber double speed wax and a jug of water it all came off very easily indeed. (Though it had not had long to bake on in the sun)

I too use Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax, it is the best as far as I am concerned. Easy to use and does leave a deeper shine :)

I washed mine on Monday evening, then tucked it away in the garage. Tomorrow (Sunny 28C) I'm driving to Twickenham to see the Rugby. Should be a splendid day for a convertible.

As my wife's not very good at walking, for the princely sum of £35.00 I've booked parking on someone's drive only a tenth of a mile from the ground. Really looking forward to the day.

Whoops, if tomorrow is Saturday then it's the final. That should be a good one. Enjoy!!

You need a different cream/wax for that buddy :shock:
I tried to buy that but they said I’d need to go on a special list, so I declined ;)

And thanks to this ^^^ I’ve just forked out 68 shekels at Halfrauds for some clay bars (I wanna take you to a clay bar!), new Megs wash mitt, SRP, and two new buckets to supplement my existing buckets. That’ll be the 2BM^2 method.

I might try this one, do you still apply the top coat sealant?

I can feel a sore back coming on. It'll be worth it though. Oooh the feeeeel of freshly clayed paintwork!!!!!! I must go and have a lie down. Mine was getting dusty, so I've just put the hose over her. Fortunately we have lovely soft water down here. So Much improved.

On the dirtier side I replaced front discs and pads on the bus then removed the bumper to change the passenger side headlight (nonfunctional height adjuster).
Right knee is killing me now - doesn't like getting up off the ground much since I tore a meniscus 2 years ago.
