Cheers fella and agreed on the tyre shine, It's not the greatest unless I'm applying too thinly but it just seems to evaporate off the tyres, Had a good even gloss when first applied.
Reluctant to use Megs Endurance as it'd probably flick off all up the side of the car.
Sealed the wheels with Poorboys Wheel sealant and dressed the tyres with the Eco touch tyre dressing.
Applied Tripple, Tough Coat and Temptation, Plastics didn't really need doing so left them, Glass cleaned with AF Crystal.
Here's a few finished pics which I'm happy with for a quick...
Then onto Iron fallout removal so again out came the Iron X (I love this product)
Went around the whole car and every panel was caked so worked around and removed as much as possible, I need to order some Clay as didn't have at to use which was a shame but gave the car a quick rinse using...
So I pressure washed the car all over and then applied RDS to the entire bodywork whilst I set to work on the wheels.
Used Hot Wheels 50:50 with water and then applied Iton X and had a little bit of bleeding but nothing too bad as I doubt the brakes on a 1.4 Kia are too aggressive.
Whilst...
Woke up today and the weather was almost perfect to car cleaning, Warm but not too sunny and had seen my brother yesterday and his car was a state so offered for him to drop it over and I'd clean it whilst he was at work.
Time was not on my side as he needs to leave straight after work so only...
Hoping someone can help, The black leather seats in the Pug are not wearing as well as the Clios 'leather' seats did, Remember seeing someone using some special pen to almost colour in where the leather had lightened, Think it may have been Chappers but can't be certain.
Can someone point me in...
Wheels cleaned and tyres dressed courtesy of the last 2 Waxybox's.
Before
After washing
Very impressed with the wheel cleaner, I didn't use very much and it still did a pretty good job.
Would I buy more? That I'm not sure about.
All finished
Loved the Tyre dressing, Really easy to apply...
I genuinely think I might buy a bottle of Hubikote when I run out of Lather Really is a lovely feeling shampoo, Feels so slick and the bubbles feel so creamy.
Used it on the fathers car already but that is one uncared for vehicle so not a fair test I suppose but it still felt quite nice.
Will give it a go on mine and maybe try out some other waxybox bits whilst I'm at it, I have TC on my car but no wax so not sure what to do, Half a car with the 2...
They are a hoot to drive when keeping under 25mph but then I've only driven a hire car and we all know they are always the best examples of any given model.
Seats are just a flat though and I did nearly slide into the passenger seat.
I want to discuss the new bits god dammit, Better wait until tomorrow though :(
Waiting for panel temps to cool before washing the car, Wheels are clean now but won't dress the tyres until I've washed and dried the whole car.
To use Hubikote or Lather... Hmmmmmm!
I'm a hoarder, I will order C5 at some point and just stash my PB's in a drawer, I have never sold on any cleaning gear even though I constantly buy alternatives.
I have the PB Wheel Sealant and its 'ok' but going from what I have seen/read I'd spend the £10 extra.
Wish my wheels were in a condition to warrant buying he C5 :(
