Nah it doesnt take any proper protection off, ie wax or sealant. If you are only polishing its gonna come off if you do or dont jet wash as you arent sealing it to the paint.

Gets 3 coats of Autoglym Carnuba Wax 3 times a year, since I haven't done it for May it's due again, but it's hard getting a full dry day to do all the polishing and waxing by hand.

fityted my abarth rears yesterday and gave it a wash, gonna give it another wash in a bit cause its filthy again now, Only have to give it a blast with the pressure washer DoDo hard candy makes sure nothing sticks to it

Car pressure washed off at local ARC, done with hot shampoo spray and pressure rinsed.

Not clean by any stretch, but a hell of a lot better, can tackle it at home much easier now.

Not strictly on the car but done a bit of work on my shed come workshop.

Turned the door round so it faces the right way and fitted a catch to the door so I can close it from the inside now Can tidy up without a howling gale now. Making up a workbench is next on the list, using an old computer desk at the moment and its wayyy to low for my back.

On the car front I hoovered out all the interior using an old paint brush to brush the dust to the hoover nozzleAlso fitted an Ambi Pur car freshener.
All ready for a wash out next weekend now.

Anyone else been up to anything?

Well from this week to this weekend, i will be getting a dent repaired on the osr panel (found it on the weekend, tbh its barley visable, but i knew something was up when the reflection didnt look right). Then sometime in the week i will order my glovebox handle (props to chris souls). The refurb to my alloys will have to wait untill the new year.

Giving the Abarth a full detail today: Wash, clay, wash, polish, rinse, wax, rinse, selant.
Then also doing ye' olde vinyl behind the number plate
