Default Some Car Treats

Thought the car needs some care when washing so got these in preparation along with snow foam and new jet wash and wash/rinse buckets with dirt guards

What a day! Three cars foamed,washed and spray waxed and inside,maybe a full day on each will achieve better results but not bad.











The focus cam up well as quite new the Scooby will def need a full detail at some point, not worth putting pic of the family troop carrier as seen hard life but it came up well too

Thumbs up

Looking good! Spray waxing though..that's cheating!!

Where's all the hard graft and elbow grease!? Spray wax the others by all means but the Scoob needs your undivided attention for at LEAST 6 hours! Lol

I washed mine yesterday..4 buckets of water to get all the grit and dirt off, a further 4 for washing and rinsing..all up 2 flights of stairs..then dried and polished by hand.

It looked great and then this morning's dew dried weird on it in the sun and now it's covered in brown splodges again..it never ends!!

Did spend most of the day on the other two!
Then realised the Scooby needed a clean as well.

All done with prewash/snow foam/2 bucket wash/rinse/dry, then tried Demon Shine out, worked well on the black cars not so good on the Scooby

Going to get BR Detailting to give it the treatment it deserves.
