Well i decided to give the car a quick clean yesterday after removing some tar, and i used the following;
Flash auto dry thing to spray car, then sprayed all over with flash auto dry shampoo, left to soak, then rinsed off. Then sprayed the flash shampoo on again and washed using two bucket method with a mitt, and halfrauds advanced car wash. Rinsed car and sprayed with the auto dry thingy. Left to dry. Then waxed car with turtle wax extreme polishing wax, and buffed to a nice shine! Then finished off with simonz bumper car black stuff.
The wheels.
They were in a complete state when i got them, covered in muck and tar, and even chewing gum!!! So i washed them, then used some autoglym paint restorer, rubbing firmly to remove the crap, then finished off with some turtle wax, leaving it for about 10mins per wheel before buffing off. They have come up nice, but still need a refurb!
