Default Cleaned the car - Part 2(Paintwork)

Last week I spent an afternoon just cleaning the wheels - that'll be the joy of white wheels then

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...l#post10688053

After only a week they looked like this





And as for the rest of the car, not been cleaned for a month








Used the Muc-off again as it foams up nicely with the pressure washer and a lot of the loose dirt runs off






Similar to the wheels, autoglym shampoo to clean it, Meguiars part 1 paint cleaner, part 2 polish and Meguiars Classic Gold wax as I'd run out of the part 3 carnuba wax. Back to black on some of the window trims and Mer glass cleaner just to finish it off

Not the best pics with an iPhone and a low sun but gives you an idea
