A brief Sunday wash

[iAndy]

Well after not washing the car for nearly 6 months and the only wash it got was a blast at local petrol station for £2 thought it might need a slight wash. Car was covered in tar and dead bugs so knew it would take some doing.

Car was rinsed down with hot water to loosen
Snow Foamed
Rinsed
2 Bucket wash
Iron-x'd the entire car including roof panel by panel so not to dry and rinsed after each panel
Washed again 2 bucket method
Then Trix applied to get rid of the tar
Snow foamed and rinsed
Car clayed with Dodo Juice clay and their lubricant
Washed again 2BM
Wheels done with Bilberry juice car moved inbetween to get a different position on wheels
Then rinsed off and dried
Masked up with 3M blue masking tape
DAS-6 Pro and Menzerna 2500 polish to get a few scratches out
finished with Menzerna 3000 mirror glaze
Coat of Extra Gloss Autoglym applied to top by hand
Then 2 coats of Blue Haze dodo juice wax
Tyres dressed with meguires tyre dressing

I bet polishing and waxing in yesterday's heat was, erm, interesting lol. Looks good man

 

[iAndy]

Yeah waited while it cooled down to polish it and the sun was over the back of house so had some shade. But still dried really quick, first time I've used the DAS and think I need practice lol, still got some swirls that need polishing out. Was the Iron-x that I was most impressed with, got so much purple rain drops on it.

 

[Robo_#1]

Yeah Iron-X is pretty decent. What do you thi of Trix? I need some tar spot remover.

 

[iAndy]

Its really good, I'll bring a sample one to How fast so ya can try it out.

 

[Dave1rs]

Looks stunning....does make me cringe seeing the before pics though! Lol

 

[iAndy]

Yeah the before photo's are of a "driven" car, It gets used daily and tracked. Bought to be used so when I look at all the dead flies and crap stuck to it, just reminds me its getting used lol. I didn't get one with the dead bird in the grill from Saturday's afternoon blast, that managed to work loose on way home, an hour at 70 - 85 mph got rid of it lol

 

[DrDx]

Very nice! I'm in my garage using my Dodo Juice Buff Daddy DA polisher today - thankfully the RS200 is only a small car!!! I must try this Iron-X stuff.....
