Clean For A Day :(

Featured Replies

Gave the ST quick wash today. Got rid of a weeks worth of dirt that the misses manages to find, I look forward to doing it again next week and the week after that etc etc. Hate this time of year, loads to do to the car and not enough daylight.

She's definately been taking that for a rally :')

Looks much better now though, good work 👍 definately +1 on the hating this time of year, makes washing them a hassle.

Blimey, that's some impressive dirt. How long did it take you to clean?

About an hour and a half, pressure washer and snow foam really helps.

My cars turn tomorrow! This time of year is terrible though, gets dirty after 1 day again :(

Nice job!

Yip I'm jealous. Got mine to do tomorrow.

My next car will be "Road Grime Brown"

Need to get cracking on that matey ;)

Literally just got in from snowfoam and pressure wash and full interior deep clean, looks and smells great now. But will need doing again within a few days because of the wet weather coming lol

Maybe the ST3 attracts more dirt than the ST2. Mines never got that dirty and is cleaned on average once every 3-4 months!

Mine is in progress :D paused for lunch!

Tada :D

Proving you're really hungover by double posting and quoting yourself? :P lol

Lol stupid app

Mine's gonna get a good washing tomorrow. Only had it since Thursday and it's filthy!

Anyway, can you guys recommend any cleaning products? Failing that, just general tips, dos-and-don'ts?

AUTOGLYM!! I haven't ever used any other product, and haven't felt the need to! Always happy with the performance. Even though it isn't the cheapest stuff going. I find ordering from Amazon usually knocks a few quid off.

Remember new car = new sponge!

Don't use a sponge, use a wash mitt or you'll inflict scratches everywhere! That's the golden rule really :P 2 bucket method helps too!

Jip feel the same way about the wash mit, works great, although most of my day was spend laying on the beach, I did a bit of car washing as well, I look like a red hot chilli pepper today, damn the sun burn.
