After yesterday's tootle out around the Dales the old girl was a tad dirty :arghh:

A nice sunny and crisp day so called the team to arms at 10:00hrs.
1. A good wash underneath to get rid of any salt first!
2. A Liberal spray of engine and machine cleaner all over the engine bay then agitated with a detailing brush then rinsed off with a low flow spray (air box covered), mopped up any pools then a VERY Liberal spray of Vinyl and Rubber Care all over, shut bonnet and leave.
3. A Liberal spray of Magma on each wheel, leave it to do its stuff then agitate with my wheel brush then rinse thoroughly
4. Scrub the tyres with my tyre brush then rinse.
5. Dampen the roof then a Liberal spray of roof cleaner then agitate with the firm sponge supplied, rinse thoroughly
6. Jet wash the car
7. Apply snow foam and leave for 10 mins then jet wash off
8. Hand wash with my fibre mitt and Autoglym Pure Soap then jet wash off
9. Shammy paint work
10. Open doors, boot and bonnet (buff engine bay) then blow dry all the shuts, engine bay, roof and wheels (fold in mirrors to dry out the retaining bolts)
11. Clean all seals then apply Gummifledge
12. Polish and buff the paint work
13. Buff the exhaust tips
14. Hoover and clean all interior surfaces

Stand back, admire and take pics then in the garage with her cover on 'till the next time (15:30 finish)

The Team .... well, some of it 😉
 
Your cleaning products are worth more than my Zed. ;)
 
Good effort Andy, Bella looks superb:thumbsup:
 
And that's how it's done - a productive and satisfying day's work! Mine just got a rinse, rapid wax and left outside to freeze over :rolleyes: On the plus side, I'll be getting it dirty again very soon :coolsteer)

As it happens being ex military and the son of a serviceman I'm very well verrsed in 'March Out' cleaning routines. Clean simply doesn't cut the mustard, there's Civvy clean, proffesional cleaners clean and March Out clean and then there's our clean, it would cost you though 😉
 
Bella looking decent again, but its fun getting her dirty :cool:
