Decided this was the weekend to clean the car up, I was very lucky with the weather so I'm all in all pleased :D

So saturday morning, set up by 9am & rather cold.

My favourite foam & lance were cracked out. Not so keen on the shampoo, only used it as it was a big clean up sesh.

After about 2 hours I finally managed to crack on, re foamed & washed.

Now she has swirlies, but they can wait till the weather is more stable. :approve: So I opted for Micro Prime as its a great all rounder & really cleans the paint well. I think I prefer this over Lime Prime as it seems less dusty.

So, after I machine polished her I felt she was still lacking that shine. So I wiped her down with Z6 then applied Tripple by hand. I was going to use this first on the machine but I find the primes clean really well.

Anyway, today I gave her a coat of Powerlock via the rotary. Love using this with a machine.

Gave her another Z6 wipe down. I really wanted to drive her, so I'll wax her on the next wash! :lol:
Out & about, got a snap with my sisters 182 too.

Im undecided to Illusion, Bos or Supernatural ? Not worried on durability, Hydro 2 has that covered :D

Cheers guys, I'm thinking illusion too. :)

Well the weather is poo today, not even constant rain so no pretty beadage atm either! :(
 
Superb as always, Dawny. Illusion sounds like a good route, if longevity is not a problem.

Also, what's that orange thing in the sky?! Not seen it for months ;)
