Firstly chaps sorry for the quality of the pics i only have a camera phone :wall:
I have owned the car for 2 weeks now and whatever the dealers used on the wheels and tyres made them soooooooooooooo dirty and it was quite slimey (wee bit like car salesmen
)
I used my ab lance and a mixture of elite snow foam (rather smelly) and some poorboys super suds stuff, left it to rest for the usual 5/10 mins and then rinsed it off with the pressure washer.
Before i picked the car up it was sitting under some trees and was covered with sap and other crap so i clayed the paintwork using megs clay and megs last touch diluted 1:1 and got all the crap off the paint and the trim (again there was black gunk all over the trim just like the wheels.
I then washed the car with the 2 bucket method usin megs lambswool and mf mitt for the various parts of the car and gave the wheels a good 10 min soak with the non acidic wheel cleaner from autobrite.
I then used a old bit of sponge to clean off the trim and wheels which ended up in the bin cause it was totally black and slimey. I then dried using a waffle towel and the megs lt again and gave it a quick wax with zymol carbon.
I went round all the trim with chemical guys trim restorer and before i done the outside trim i gave the interior a quick going over with it as well.
The mats are like 2 weeks old so i gave them a quick shake and a hoover
Also i done all the windows with megs fast glass, gave the front/back lights a quick shine too! :thumb:
finally heres my irmy door pins that i managed to blag free from the dealers
