just after the winter the car needs a damn good clean
so i gave it a good quick clean to day

and as im only new to this, i dont have all the stuff the pros have
so i had to do my best

so 1st pics are before






and then i washed the car with Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and i used to buckets of water (which i picked up from here lol)




then i just dried the car of with a flexi blade and a Chamoi



as i had loads of tar on the lower half of the car, i just got some cheap detarer from my local car shop, so nothin special.



Cloth before



Cloth after



then i washed it again with Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and took of the water.

As the car had scraps and scratches all over the car. so i went over the bad bit with Poorboys SSR2.5, as im only new to this and do not have a pc are anything like that i had to do it by hand (im sure thats not right) but it did remove a good few of the marks, it just took alot of work




once that was done, i started on the 1st layer of polish, from what people have said, i bought my self abit of the poorboys stuff, so i did the 1st layer of polishs with Poorboy's Professional Polish and a sponge and microfibre cloth




after doing the layer of Poorboy's Professional Polish, i moved on to the layer of Poorboy's EX-P Sealant and left it on for a while as the bottle says and put it on with a sponge and microfibre cloth






as i had to do this all by hand i dont think it turned out ot bad
im sure if i had the right tools, im sure it would look 100 times better

as for the wheels i just gave them a week quick clean and polish and gave the rubber a coat of Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Gel, to make them clean.

well thats me done with the car cleaning for one day
next day il do the inside as its not the best really, its needs a good clean

but i went up the road to give her a wee photoshoot of her own
just a few of the pics i like

looks like a good job to me mate, i've got loads of the products and mine doesn't shine like that because i can't be bothered (maybe in summer ) and the fact that my car is 15yrs old....but point is if you put the effort in then it can look great still.

thanks

but it fells really good when you clean the car your self
y would u pay some person who doent give a damn bout it

good job on that mate
very clean and as shiney as you are going to get a silver car! silver cars are good cars if you don't want to be washing it every other day......dark cars.....well they shine loads more but are a b*tch to keep clean
