Default Today's car tlc.

So today, as the sun has made an appearance, I'm going to do my first ever wax on the car. I usually just give her a good wash with auto glym car shampoo and then hand dry. I must say the auto glym shampoo really gives a nice after-wash finish compared to other products I've used.

So I've gone for some more auto glym products in the wax and got the super resin which I've heard good things about. Looking forward to seeing the finish although it won't be perfect sadly as many of you heard a mobile tyre fitter did a right job of 2 of my wheels when fitting new rubber. Hoping to sort this in the next 2 weeks though.

Best get to it then.....after F1 quali and a cuppa

Don't have the clay bar but might quickly pop up to Halfruads to see if they have one.
