cheers for tips regarding mitts etc

wheers best place for the mitts and various cloths and how much?

also this claying business. where can i get said "clay". and how much is it? My ex shown me a thread (from barry boys) about this bloke who bought an Astra and proper got it shining. the wax cost like 7k (refilled for life mind)

i'll find the link

Was that the blue VXR done with Zymol?? That was awesome if it was..

yeah it was,

just re-read the thread. about 10th time t've read it now

looks mint, but at the end of the day its an astra. It'd be worth doing if it was either a show car or a super car ie ferrari, db9 etc. an astra - **** that!

why have they deleted the post with the link to the thread?

Due mainly to time constraints, I simply apply some Polish at the moment.

Then again, they could be Albanian, or Hungarian.

I like durability rather than out rite looks.

1)Clean wheel with Meguiars hot rims
2) Pre wash with SSF applied with the Autobrite lance and rinces with Karcher
3) Light hose down with a finer mist before washing with AG body shampoo, used with meguiars micrfibre mit and 2 bucket methood.
4)Dry with Poorboys waffle weave, and clean dry door jams ect with AG Synthetic chamois.
5)
Every 2-3months I will
1) Clay and wipe dry with extra plush microfibre towel
2) Second wash down
3) finally dry again with Poorboys wafle weave.
4) Polish with Poorboys Polish using the german applicator pad dusted with plush microfibre and again with lambs wool mit.
5) Seal with Poorboys EX-P sealant, the same way.

I've still got to try some of the Poorboys SSR1 in a couple of areas on my car with would be done before polishing.

Inside I use Autoglym vinyal and bumper car with has no or little silicone. Always kept tidy in clean so its normally just a quick hoover.

I could go on but you get the picture lol
