Post France clean up - lots of pics!

Post by dino »

Right - after 1750 miles in 7 days the lil dub was looking a bit worse for wear with about eleventy million bugs plastered on the car.
Had to stop every few hundred miles to clean the windscreen as i couldn't see out properly and it annoys me!

Process;
*Hose/Jet as many bugs off as possible.
*Wash alloys with Megs GC shampoo using wheel brush and mitt.
*Cover car in a layer of GC foam and let it dwell for 5 mins before washing with sheep skin washmitt.
*Remove tar with AG Intensive Tar Remover.
*Dry with WW towel and last touch as lube
*Dress tyres with Megs Endurance
*Hoover and clean interior with Quik Interior Detailer (smells so good!!)

I'll now let the pictures do the talking;

Befores;
