So I've been admiring all these beautifully turned out cars and thinking ....I should have a go at that.
The usual wash and chamois dry followed by a polish was enough before, but the surface of my car felt rough to the touch and so I thought it time to invest in some of these detailing products.
As Halfords have a 3 for 2 sale on cleaning products at the moment, I got myself some Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo, a Farecla G3 Body Prep clay mitt,and a Meguiars Gold Class Premium Quik Detailer.
Washed the car using the two bucket method and a wash mitt, then using the mitt and Quik detailer went over the car thoroughly and could then feel the paintwork smooth as silk. Another soapy wash down followed by a hose off with clean water.
Dried off the paitwork with a microfibre towel and gave it a coat of AutoGlym Super Resin Polish and followed that with a coat of Farecla G3 Resin Superwax.
The wheels, interior and under bonnet will have to wait until tomorrow, but I'm happy with the outcome so far. Brilliant Silver paintwork is never going o look as dramatic and good as a dark colour, but mine looks good to me.
A few photos of the results so far.
