Wow - car cleaned

MrBitsy · 13th November 2007, 12:53

Well, a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of 'claying the car', but I have just completed the following.

1.. Wash with Meguiars Gold Class and mit
2.. Clay whole car
3.. Meguiars ScratchX
4.. Meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner
5.. Meguiars deep crystal polish
6.. Meguiars NXT tech wax
7.. Collinate 476 wax
8.. Poorboys 'Natural Look' dressing for vinyl and plastic.

I have never had a car look this good in 30 years.

Swirl marks have more or less disappeared and the shine is deep and glossy. I was going to take some pictures today but it is raining

- will take some tomorrow.

Thanks for the re-direct to http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/ - excellent service from them!

i clayed my car for the first time last month for a two-sixities meet, was very impressed with the finish, its amazing how much dirt comes off of a clean car, definately worth doing every now and then

I've started a bit more of a "comprehensive cleaning regieme", just using the 2 bucket method makes the car so much cleaner.
