Start of My Annual Spring Clean

Teflon · 21st March 2016, 15:10

Decided to take advantage of the mild weather and started my annual spring clean a little earlier this year. So far, I've given the paintwork a good going over with some clay, followed by my Meguires G220 DA and a couple of coats of Collinite. Still got lots to do though. Wheels need to come off for a deep clean (inc. wheel arches), all the plastic trim needs to be looked at, and the interior hasn't yet been started, so lots to keep me busy over the next week or so.

A couple of pics of progress so far (please don't look at the wheels!).

Those wheels are filthy lol

Car looks great, like it's just out of the showroom.

Thanks guys - she doesn't look too shabby for a 13 yr old daily driver.

The photos mask it quite well, but the wheels really are quite dirty at the 'mo. I'm looking at getting them refurbed, but as always, I can't decide which wheels I prefer, the Meteors that are currently on the car (and are very easy to clean), or the Serpents I have in the attic (which are a pig to clean). Decisions, decisions......

Your 75 is looking as stunning as ever Cliff. Your 75 does not look anywhere near 13 years old or a daily driver. Look forward to seeing you soon.

I got it from Cleanyourcar.co.uk here: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/co.../prod_451.html

Not cheap, but the large tin lasts for ages, so it's not that expensive in the long run.
