Alright, my Dad asked to clean his car, so I did quickly this weekend. After investing in a pressure washer, snowfoam and lance, and some new Dodo Juice Hard Candy wax I could not wait to get it done.

Here are some before shots, it was covered in flies and tar spots..

Then hit it up with the snow foam, I need to get my dilution's right, but for a first go it was okay.

This was then washed off with the 2 bucket method, using a wash mitt and Megs Gold Glass. Took a lot of scrubbing with the bug scrubber to get the flies off. The tar spots on the other hand were still there :(

Gave the arches and wheels a brief scrub clean and wipe down, then tyre shine using Megs Endurance Tyre Gel.

Dried the car off and it was coming to shine. The swirling was horrendous though, its a year and a 3 months old, done 24,500 miles and never been hand washed! Shame I didn't have my clay bar with me and some polish.

Anyway, after the wheels, I used Dodo Juice Hard Candy wax, first time using a hard wax, one panel at a time, left to cure for a few minutes and buffed off. The shine it was giving off was amazing, finished the car and it just started to spit with rain. Quickly rubbed some Endurance gel on the rubber diffuser at the rear, tried to scrub the exhaust up but failed and RainX on the windows.

Another quick wipe down with a clean MF cloth before the photos. I have a new love for this wax. Well worth the money. The car has done 400 miles since now, its covered in black marks from the dirty rain and some more bugs but from a distance it still looks so smooth and shiny.

Picture time, 56k I am sorry. If anyone even uses 56k anymore!

Edit: Just looking, these pictures really don't do it justice, for saying it only took 2 hours I was so impressed with it.

Good work man.

Btw I'm not being funny but if your dad drives an E92 how come you got a Saxo?

[Finchowned]

Looks really nice and clean!

[Jorge-]

Its a company car!

And I pay for the Saxo with all my own cash, just cuz Mummy and Daddy have some money behind them doesn't mean they spoil me.


Also a 52 plate VTS at 19 isnt bad though ;)

Thanks

nice car. shame you couldnt detail the swirls :(

i really need to get some dodo juice

Mieran. what has a parent's car got to do with what the child drives?? lol

[Jorge-]

If I get the time over summer I will do the swirls, but he has no care for the car really being a company car that does 25k a year. Stone chipped and curbed wheels :(

If your parents are loaded you can get an interest free loan from them or in some cases work for their business and get paid a good wage.

[Jorge-]

Just no.

Not bad I suppose.

I hate little bastards driving around in flashy cars bought by their parents.

i would be mortified if i curbed that car! its gorgeous

its always more fun detailing a nice car isnt it! i used to get bored cleaning the saxo, but i love taking time over my mum's car.
