nath.mk7.st Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Pressure washed.... Snow foamed.... alloys and dry that's all I've done. Took me a hour at most was quite impressed how it came out with me rushing, I swear the wind is like a million mph I couldn't take anymore so went in haha Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Looks great :). Sunday is usually my car wash day (or hour and a half ish) so I might put some photos up tomorrow. I really need to change the way I wash mine, still using a brush (although a good one with soft ends) and a synthetic washleather, neither of which can be good for the paint. I think after the weather improves I'll spend a day detailing it, or get it done professionally to get rid of all the tiny scratches.

I buy a 70p sponge and use it once only haha then my grandad has it to clean his haha and I dry with a squeegee and then a microfibre drying cloth ;) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bought a lambs wool mit last year but stopped using it just because the brush is quicker lol. As for neighbours, I don't remember the last time I saw anyone else washing their own car. One of my neighbours said something like "I can tell how much you care about your car" just because I wash it each weekend lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Here's mine, clean but rainy. It's not fun cleaning a car in the freezing cold, wind and rain. Couldn't feel my fingers at the end :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
