5 Hours of cleaning =

[Derelict-UK]

A bad back!!

And a shiny car too!

Been waiting for today for a while, got all my washing kit and got to work at 3pm finished at 7pm!

Items used...

Karcher 2.15 pressure washer (it does the job!)
Foam lance & cherry snow foam
car shampoo (using the last of a bottle of turtle wax shampoo)
3 buckets
2 halfords lambs wool wash mits
many microfibre cloths
Clay bar + Detailer
AG SRP
Chemical Guys Blitz Sealant
Carnauba Jett spray wax
Shoe Polish (for the tyres)
Olive Oil (for the plastic bumper strips, worked a treat!)
elbow grease.


It was hard work but worth it, all I need to do now is see if I can get someone to sort some scratches and dings it got before I owned it.

Nice work. Black always looks good when clean. I blitzed mine today. Washed, waxed and got my lip spoiler fitted. Just got to de-badge and I think I'm done...although I do want a new set of wheels as well. Hmm, I'll see.

[Derelict-UK]

4 hours oops

I don't want to clean another thing lol, pity to know by the time the weekend ends it will probably look dirty again!

 

[UncleGrumpy]

Thats the worst thing mate, been there many times, I've spent all day going over mine inside and out and 2/3 days later it looks like a shed again, still cant beat that feeling of looking at your motor when you've finished and it's gleaming like day 1. I ought to get pics of mine next time I do it just to remind me of how it used to be

 

[Curtis!]

Good effort dude.

Looks clean mate. I haven't yet cleaned by black gold 182 since i've had it. I'm dreading to see what the paint is like underneath it!
