Default Polo got a clean...ASW

Some spontaneous ASW action. Cleaned the polo today and had my friends decent camera with me so took some photos. Also took some little videos of IronX working its magic too which I'm gonna speed up and play around with.

Just gave it a simple wash using kleenfreaks shampoo. Using IronX on the wheels and poorboys wheel sealant to reseal them.

Did the usual details such as tyre dressing and window cleaner.

Got a picture of all the stuff that I've used on the car...At the moment it's sealed with a couple layers of Poorboys EX-P sealant from a couple weeks ago. I use autosol metal polish on the dishes and Poorboys Wheel Sealant on the dishes+centres.

So yeh here is how it comes out after a simple wash. Was polished and sealed 4 weeks ago.

Looks good mate, decent job!

If you have some money spare soon, I would invest in a better wax. Something like chemical guys 50/50 would be my choice, its expensive but should like a couple of years and does a brilliant job!

Cheers dude. It is something I've been after. Is that a liquid wax? I prefer liquid wax as its easier to work with!

Nah its a clear wax, liquid is a pain in the arse I find as its goes everywhere.

I was hesitant to spend £40 on a wax but when I did, I never turned back!

If i spent two grand on some wax and polished my car with it and then polished one identical next to it with some chemical guys 50/50 i bet 9/10 people wouldnt spot the difference.

And then my gf and friends would leave me as i spent two grand on some wax for my 10 year old car.

edit to add, polo looks clean!

Yeh, I suppose it must last years, while something like 50/50 lasts 3 or 4 months.

So do I, but the wax layer stays there obviously. So the longer it lasts the better.

Cheers dude, and don't think it was mine, OZ turbos are fairly common split rims, and I can think of about 10 6n2's on them. So probably another one!
