Hi all,
Yes, must update the score lol :grumpy: if we could finish we would be dangerous lol :D

What i used to clean the car.

1. Snow foam x 2 left is to settle for about 10mins each coat, quick wash of the alloys, I had already used poor boys alloy protection, seems to work well, just get a long brush to clean the inside of the alloys, I know some take their alloys off but I dont think I will go that far lol
2. wash with some meguiars gold class
3. quick clarbar with Bilt hamber, first time ever and it was a quick go lol i used water as a lube
4. towel dry
5. quick polish with Collinite 476, seems pretty good but toxic and a bit of a pain to put on, tricky to see where you have been as it's a really hard substance

And yes, need to sort the lawn out lol :p

Cheers
Clive.

Hey Scott,
I use meguiars wheel brush, I got it on offer at halfords for a fiver as the box was dead, think normal price is about a tenner. As long as you don't go crazy with it, it will last ok. :)

Cheers

Clive

Ps, car filthy now lol
