Gave the Clio a bit of TLC yesterday after i think it went though the entire month of December without so much as a jetwash
Had a few bits at my disposal.

Here are a few pics of how the car was before i got started
As you can see the amount of build up of grime was quite a lot

As always i started with the wheels. for this i used Billberry wheel cleaner diluted 1:2
![5oz3pl.jpg 5oz3pl.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/43/43874-bf49ded7967947d51447ba70cc0222b3.jpg)

I have used a few wheel products in the past and i have always rated this
Car was then blasted off to removed the heavy soil and then treated to a good blast with the snowfoam via my Karcher

Was then rinsed
Then was the 2 bucket method with a lambswool mitt and Megs gold class
![2ez6atg.jpg 2ez6atg.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/43/43880-779be4d610a1f8e970718bd5866b3db1.jpg)

The paint was still in good condition and pretty free from contaminants but i left the Iron-X to work its magic for a few minutes (while i threw up as its the worst smelling stuff invented). Im yet to try Wolfs Deacon Gel but will give it a bash when im out of Iron-X

Dried with Sonus drying towel. These things are great. Wring out really well and the absorbancy is great
![2d1n403.jpg 2d1n403.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/43/43885-22b0b3b414ce0261a175b58866158ec8.jpg)
Last i gave the wax a bit of a top up with Dodo Supernatural via a Dodo Finger mitt. Sonus microfibre towels to remove and buff. colourcoded cloths to match my car too.

I also took off the side graphics that i got from Renault. Got bored of them
