Been on holiday.. ;)
RRS is sold, well pending. Just wasn't my thing, cracking car, but pretty boring after the novelty wares off!
Test drove and looked at various cars recently hunting for a replacement, 911/R8/GTR/FRS/V8V, but discarded them for various reasons. So going back to a Lotus...
I wasn't keen on Mini's at all, until the misses bought one. Its actually a very good car, well built, nippy enough (she went for the cooper convertible). Good residuals aswell
Weekly wash is better than the detailers IMO.
I don't always apply sealant, but if you are doing the full lot, you should also include a Clay Bar, and use after the first Wash. Then Rewash, then start the Polish.
No, polish if done right should only be done once or twice a year.
My weekly routine is usually
Foam/Wash/Dry/Wheels/Tyres and sometimes a Wax if I can be assed!
Washing..
2 buckets, 2 mitts, some brushes.. Foam if you're feeling flush. Decent shampoo
Drying..
Decent towel from CYC or i4D.
Polishing..
Machine or hand? Machine - Whole range of different products.. Hand - Autoglym SRP is good enough.
Sealant..
Chemical Guys Blitz...
I've posted something similiar before, but this is the uncluttered/updated garage thread.. Some of its just awesome!
