    Default TLC on my car today

    After my car had been sat in the stealers for nearly three weeks, I felt she was well over due a good polish.

    1. One bucket method and a sponge

    2. Dried with Aqua Blade and Megs Water Magnet

    3. One coat of Megs Gold Class Paste

    4. One coat of NXT Spray Wax

    5. Windows - NXT Glass cleaner

    6. Tyres - Megs Hot Tire Shine

    The wife was itching to get to Ikea, so I had to cut it short there, but overall I'm quite pleased with the results -

    You,ve done a grand job there Alex. I did mine today, Wahed it with a wash mit and NXTcar wash, then dried it with a drying towel, and then waxed it with PS21S Canuba Wax, and went over the black bits with Autoglym bumper gel, not a bad days work considering I even changed the front spring on my wife,s Vectra b.

    i washed mine last night and then added final couple of coats of carnuba wax to the bonnet. i had clayed it the week before and used a cleaner polish then a pure polish before adding 2 coats of sealant a day or so apart during the week. Went out to start on the rest of it but the rain started.

    Good work there alex looking good mate
