So spent all day yesterday dong my ar, this is what i did.

Wash with microfibre wash mitt 2 bucket method
Wheel wash and tyre shine
Polish every panel and then two oats of wax
Aquapel on windows.

Took me all day and i am unlikely to do it again!!!!

was wondering thou, now thats it waxed can i wash it just by snowfoaming it and then pressure washing it off? would that wash it if its well waxed??

You could but it wont clean it. You still wash it as normal just it will be alot easier.

Took you all day to do that did you have plenty of tea breaks

what wax and polish did you use in the end??

Pics would be good beany, i spent a weekend doing mine in April when i got it, full detail, using 2 coats of Collinite 476 wax. Still beads now like the day i did it and it makes cleaning the thing so much quicker.

Yeah i would love to post pics but i use my phone as my digital camera but dropped it in the sink so its a goner for now, will get some up asap.

i wish i has the patience to do this, i really need to give mine a good once over and get it gleaming, especially with it being black, but i just cant be bothered!!

 

[snownrock]

Its definitely worth the time and effort (though you wont agree at the time), you need a dry weekend though really, and thats a precious commodity at the minute unfortunately.

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

Yeah DEFINATELY worth the trouble!!

and you know full well that black cars look the dogs when they're cleaned!!

Beany - get some pics off your phone for us!

Nice one..

I'm currently doing a test for our local 'Detailing Crew' at the minute..

On the left side of the bonnet is Zymol Royale Wax (RRP £2,500 yes that's two thousand five hundred pounds) and the right side is A £25 Japan Wax..

The rest of the car is done with Dodo Juice wax.

We shall see, so far the £25 wax and the wax that costs 100 times more are the same after about 2 weeks. Time will tell.

Obviously the Surface was well prepped (To remove swirl marks etc!) first, by the pro's!

Be careful with what snowfoam you use some will strip the wax of so you would of wasted all your time i no Valet Pro PH Neutral snow wont strip it.

Beany, are we gonna get to see the fruits of your labour?? get some pics up!

the only time your likely to strip wax using snow foam is not using the recommended dilutions. or mistakenly buying high foam TFR....
