Just a few pics of our car we picked up just before we went on holiday last month.

Yesterday was the first chance to give it a good clean.

washed, clayed and Jeffs Acrylic.

nice car paint looks good.
A pointer though to make it look really good, clean under the arches as when you are looking along the nice clean car you can see the dirty plastic under arch liners. I use all purpose cleaner and a small brush or an old wash mitt will do then I dress them with a plastic dressing such as the one that you use on the skirts, arches or even use a tyre dressing spray.

Hey..like the car(but I would say that!:p)

was just wondering what prducts you use and the methods..as I want my car to look like that!!:lol:..the best I've seen it was when I picked it up from the showroom..but 400 odd miles back upto glasgow..saaaaafe to say it wasn't looking like that!!!:p

There's just sooooo many products out there i'm just
:confused::confused:!!

and what did you use to clean the wheels??..I find they are rather awkward to get into the wee nooks and crannies with a sponge!
Cheers

the bodywork was hand done using the jeffs acrylic from polished bliss (great stuff can also be put on the trim without staining)

the wheels were taken of and cleaned with chemical guys diablo and then coated with wheel wax.

Having said that i think we have still to see pics of your car mate.
