Smile Gave my run around a quick clean

Well friday evening after i finished work, and walked out to the corsa to find no word of a lie 5 MASSIVE bird cacks over the car! that was the final straw, i was meant to be cleaning an the misses dads Agila saturday but put it back a week or so as i needed to get the corsa done.

no before pictures as i forgot, just some afters for now

i do have a couple of inbetwen shots with the car littered with blue 3m tape lol but there on the computer at home

so the cleaning schedule:

> Rinse with water
> Rinsed wheels
> Cleaned alloys with cheapy wheel cleaner
> Sprayed Tyres with tyre cleaner
> Washed with Auto Glym Shampoo and Conidtioner (wanted to use a snow foam but there is no hose fitment at home )
> Rinsed
> Clayed with Smart Clay
> Washed
> Rinsed
> Dried using Waffle Towel and Micro Fibre Cloths
> Rotary Polisher with IP on Megs Soft Buff Megs Polishing Pad (only 1 pass)
> Poor Boys White Diamond Applied on 3m finishing pad
> Hand applied Poor Boys Blue Natty Paste Wax Blue
> Cleaned Glass inside and out with simple Auto Glym Glass cleaner
> Used my secret method of bringing the corsa arches back to black
> Applied Auto Glym Bumper Care to arches and all plastics
> Waxed Wheels using Megs #16 (not right stuff to use but works a treat!)

thats the basics anyway, never cleaned inside or engine bay or exhaust etc, but thats the outside clean enough, time to work through my list of cars planned, basically every car in the girlfreinds house hold and the next door neighbour lol. so that means, 206, agila, corsa c, clio, seat ibiza.

i would have done alot more to the corsa to get it 100% like a second proper pass with the machine but i was fighting against the rain and had no time

Few after pics
