Default I washed my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used a new trial version of a no rinse product from Bilt Hamber (it's not on general sale so don't bother looking for it) and was very pleased with it. I would recommend it if/when they do go into production.

That is one very nice looking clean car in a stunning colour, whatever that product is , lets hope it does come into production, only way I get mine to shine like that is with some hard labour using Bilt Hamber clay.... mine has not been washed for two weeks now as I have been unwell and its looking black, but its supposed to be seafrost.

What do you use on the window glass?

Thanks chaps, I'm considering putting some wax on today. Two days spent cleaning my car ..... it's unprecedented.

I washed the windows with the stuff as well and just buffed them along with the paintwork. This included the door glass inside while I was doing around the doors and frames.

Fortunately a photo of that size doesn't show the stone chips, little scrapes and swirls but it does give a pretty good representation of the shine.

Looks very nice fred, and looks like the product you have used seems to work, all you have to do now is wax it. Maybe a man with your taste could use this wax
