Default Been polishing the S

Been meaning to give the car a really good clean in quite some time, but for one reason or another I've always put this off. So the exterior got the full monty treatment today in preparation for the France trip at the end of May.

Brief description of what I've done:

1. Hose down with water
2. Wash with Fairy liquid using the mitts bought in Tangoman's GB (they are excellent)
3. Clay bar
4. Wash again with Clearkote car shampoo, followed by drying with waffle weave towel.
5. One coat of Clearkote Vanilla Hand Glaze
6. One coat of Poorboys EXP sealant
7. One coat of P21s wax.

And now the gratuitous pictures....









Not too bad for a Silverslow

Looks great but a nice sheen to the tyre walls would have finished a grand job
