Cleaning /polishing

Time to clean the old girl. I intend to use a car shampoo, then a wax then a glaze is this suitable. I do not want to end up as some people do with the present glaze peeling off.

Just don't jet wash and you'll be fine.

Hi there. You should try the Meguiars 3-step crystal system. You need to buy the paint cleaner, polish and wax separately, but they're not too expensive (about UK£7.99 each), easy to find (Halford now sell them) and provide a brilliant finish. If you use these twice a year, as long as you regularly shampoo the car, you'll get a great long-term finish and a product that will probably out-live the car!!!

because it gets underneath the laquer. It also undermines weakspots such as the bonnet area where stones/ debris may have weakened the laquer or paint job. You may find that the higher pressure hoses may just lift off these weak areas

If your car was a dark colour such as Black or Red,
then I could tell you how to make your car's paint look like this...but it is not cheap to do so

need my sunnies for that one Stori!!

Nice job though....bet that took a fair bit of elbow grease

Not too much
Just a Clay bar, 'polish' and some really good wax ie about a days work every 6 months
