    Cheers folks, i meant to take a pic of the beading after the power wash to show how good it still was even after 6 months, that 3 day epic detail has certainly paid off for the easiness of the wash this time around.
    It still took me 2-1/2" hours, but, it was effortless, no tar spots or even the need to clay.

    I did notice a lot of smearing having polished the car and i suspect that was down to not getting all the shampoo off properly

    Since i'm going to the Pixels movie event here in Pensacola i thought i'd better give the wee motor a wax:-

    This after only a wash with Meguiars Classic Gold:-


    Out of the sun, lesson learned, wax time:-


    First time using this Souveran $100 wax, comes in it's own little bag Smile :)


    The finished article, including all the trim:-

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
