Hey all, Me car was looking pretty grubbing after a trip to Portsmouth and back and I am abit of a clean freak when it comes to cars, so I though i'd show you some before and after shots.

I used the 2 bucket method, 1 with warm clean water in with shampoo mix and the other just warm water to wash off the mitt so not to contaminate the clean shampoo too much. The products I used were Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner,Autoglym Clean Wheels, Autoglym Super Resin Polish and finished it off with Meguiars Gold Class wax. Took around 3 hours in total, all done by hand!

Before:





After:

Nice one Reef

You heard of detailing world? If you haven't make sure you hide your credit card before you start reading. You'll spend and absolute fortune once you've seen some of the things on there

 
I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?

That is a great job!

I can see that you are a clean car freak.

When my car gets dirty I just go to the car wash and am out of there in five minutes and $5 short
