so what do you do on your BIG clean?

if im doing 'the works'

1) Hoover out inside and matts and use dashboard wipes to make it shine

2) wash with autoglym shampoo - then rinse

3) then autogly clean wheels for the alloys

4) then autoglym glass polish inside and out

5) then i polish it with mer (the stuff with a gold top and costs £15 a litre)

and ive just bought autoglym interior shampoo for me seats etx so that will be worked in there aswell

takes a while but its worth it

so is yours a trip through the car wash or an even more detailed clean than mine?

1) pray for rain

2) get wet

or now that ive got a job

1) drive to valeters up the road

2) pay

3) have a drink at the pub next door

4) go home

no THATS the way you wanna wash a car

why autoglym everything else then mer polish? better autoglym polish then super shine stuff after imo
