Just this once I'll make an exception for bikinis since your a fellow Scot!

Yeah, not products can really do it for you, just hard work is what it takes.

Oncxe spent nine yes 9 hours doing a full valet on my Dad's Rover which I was driving at the time, Cinq's can be done in five.

I'd ask the guys that are spraying it for advice on polishes etc, don't want to ruin all there work now.

9 hours :eek:

5 hours for a cinq? Flipping heck!
 
If you've just got a repsray you'd be worthwhile buying a Meguiars Lambswool wash mitt. It'll lower the chance of swirl marks appearing. Sponges trap the dirt in between the paint and the sponge and create loads of faint scrathes, looks very bad in the sun.

For the areas like under the arches you may as well use a sponge. Like-wise, I use a sponge and alloy wheel brush, bought from Asda.

Meguiars may seem slighlty on the expensive side, but if you've just gone to that effort to get your car sorted, you may as well invest in some good washing kit.

For the actual show, I'd use the Meguiars Quick Detailer, you can wash and polish your car at home etc. but for when you arrive this will help. It's 95% water and 5% soap, iirc. Just clears all the dust etc. and any small bit's of dirt.
 
oh ive spent 50 quid on car cleanin products. gotta keep it red (and not faded pink)

theres nothing better than a real chamois leather in my opinion i think thats what makes it shine and if your as obsessed as i am use it after itrains as well to keep that lovely sheen.

oh and 5 hours aint too bad. i mean if you spend about three hours on the outside. an hour washing and rinsing, followed by an hour drying the car and then about two hours polishing (2-3 coats). Then window polishing about half an hour.

then all the interior polishing and vacing about another hour

thats about 5.5 hours thats not too bad
 
oh whats that stuff i use metal polish gauze on the alloys i spend bout 20 minutes on each wheel with that stuff.
 
am sure you will do.

ill just get me guns out and all me mates and blackmail the judges just to see you win. lol

nah am playing again

am sure you will win. what colour is the car any way
 
pearl black with fine blue/green glitta dust( or it will be by the end of today) itl be up against all the muscle cars tho ones ppl spent 40k on, just goin for the fun. standing up for all the little carsz out there xxx
 
do you clean the interior as well alainax,

if you do don't use box standard furniture polish as it bleaches your dash board and all the balck stuff.

head to halfrauds and look for dash cleanin products. and give it a good wash and vac.
 
mmmm bucket seats and blacked out at the back you got class. my car is pretty much standard i want to restore it back to standard if i can but with sei seats in it. if they will fit.
