Well I must admit I've probably had about 18 months from feeling a bit 'meh' about detailing. Not that I'd dare let my standards drop on my own cars but I've not had that real urge to get up early and crack on like I used to.
Until today! So up at 7.30 and all the gear ready by 8am! :thumb:
First up was the Megan's interior, wasn't too bad but 500-600 miles since the last once over (2 months!!). Floor protectors doing their job, not the best looking things but serve a purpose -
Always find these two a cheap and reliable combination -
And this little chap helps -
Now for the outside, not terribly sorry for itself but not clean by any means -
Now a detailing friend of mine had recommended using Valet Pro Citrus Pre Wash. We'd both expressed how unimpressed we'd been with snow foam and I'd never really found it lifting the dirt like you'd expect.
Sprayed over the car mixed 1:10
Was surprised it almost foams when the pressure washer hit it -
This was the state of the car after rinsing with the pressure washer -
The car was then washed with Dodo Juice Born to be Mild and microfibre wash mitts, dried using microfibre towels. Glass was then sealed with Serious Detailing Super Glass Seal.
If I could use a dog analogy for detailing products, Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel is a faithful old labrador. Goes on and on and never lets you down! :lol:
Finally looking like this -
So I'll be maintaining the look of the car for the next 6 months or so as it's newly clayed and sealed. Glad to be feeling the detailing urge again though.
