Wheels and arches then cleaned with strong mix of NXT shampoo
Car hosed right now
Full clean with NXT shampoo
All dried with microfibre cloths
AG SRP applied to whole car + wheels.
AG EGP on all 4 wheels and left for 3 hours
2 Layers of AG EGP all over, 1h 30mins left between layers
P21S all over
Turtle Wax Tyre Gel on all the tires (no sh1t)

Very nice - well worth the time spend.

Ignore the Chemical Guys comments there sealants don't come close to the EGP, I would stick with it.

I enjoy cleaning my car too (when I can be asked) I think the most time i've ever spent on a car was about four hours though.

 

[dick]

4hrs?! that a quick rinse!

my most is 2 whole days.

never clean it anymore tho. (apart from the wash earlier in prep for the proppa clean 2moro!)

 

[Renshaw]

You missed a bit... lol

[Eskiisbest]

[Ali]

Very nice - well worth the time spend.

Up yeee! See if you drove your car you'd reep the reward from cleaning it!

Lol - it's fooking mint as, four hours is long enough.

 

[kully]

sound mate ...... luv the wheels too

 

[Gaz197]

Sorry to sound dumb but whats egp?

 

[lewisniven]

Extra Gloss Protection (Autoglym), its a sealant, protects the paintwork and makes washing it next time much easier as none of the dirt can set itself on the pain properly.

 

[Gaz197]

Would you say that polish would be best on a black metallic paint?

 

[blue nose]

great job well worth the effort

 

[lewisniven]
