Default Gave The Car A Quick Wash Today.

Was supposed to be a full clean wash clay wash polish wax etc. but as i started to wash the car it started chucking it down, was not impressed as id checked the weather forcast and it didnt mention rain. So it ended up just being a wash outside and full clean inside away from the rain lol

Anyway on with the show lol.

Couple of before pics. It hasnt been washed since before winter (around november time) A lot of the muck has been washed off in the rain it was much filthier than this lol





Rinsed it and used this supposed foaming lance thing that came with the hose, which worked so NOT well. Used Auto Glym shampoo as the megs nxt gen shampoo was too thick



Next up when it started to rain heavily i washed it using lambswool washmitt and of course the 2 bucket method usung megs nxt gen shampoo



Cleaned the alloys with auto glym wheel clean and the megs hot wheels, the megs imo is much better than the auto glym. Dryed the car off with a waffle weave towel and dressed the tyres with megs high endurance gloss. Was starting to do the plastics but the rain was getting worse, so did the windows again with megs nxt gen window cleaner





No interior shots as the camera battery died but hoovered, and refitted the rear seats after shampoing them took forever to hoover, as 2 border collies + the beach = sand pit in the back of the car. cleaned the windows and did all the plastics etc

couple of finished shots. remember this was ONLY a wash NO polish clay or wax, this will be getting done either tomorrow or the weekend as in my eyes its still filthy.
