So who is out over the Easter weekend to get the car cleaned? last month was a great success and the weather is hopefully still on the up so get your daily drivers or garage queens cleaned and post your entry bellow
Washed and cleaned yesterday with Megs Gold Class shampoo and Nanolex Wheel Cleaner and a spot of Autoglym metal polish for the exhaust tip inside and out.
Thank you Italover, yes Luna Pearl metallic, photos really do not do the colour the justice it deserves as they don't with many colours, my previous G was Etna and that was difficult to show photographically. Notices a couple of new road rash marks on the lower front bumper near the fog light drivers side - black undercoat. Have some touch up which has been made for me just need to get it from the dealers as Alfa do not do one off the shelf. Cheers.
Those chips and scratches on the front are almost unavoidable and annoying. Don't you guys have a vehicle protection film , a transparent layer which protects the front bumper, spoiler and front section of the bonnet?
It totally forgot to fit this protective film.
Every owner of a new Alfa should consider fitting this in order to preserve the beauty of our beauties!
Yeah at 17,000 miles I accept that there are going to be some marks and yes if it was my car I would have looked at the vinyl guard set up for the frontal areas. Guess just a bit peeved really.
Looking cool peter147, which interior leather treatment do you use? I use Gliptone and have done for years as it does a great job and gives off that lovely leather smell too.
Washed my GT and gave it a protection top up today. Used Autobrite Cherry Glaze and Meguiars Ultimate QD for a bit of extra shine and protection.
Cleaned the glass, sealed the wheels with Autoglym wheel sealant and used their tyre dressing too.
Happy with the result!
It is an aerosol, and I take care to spray it on the wheel away from brake parts and then wipe it round with a microfiber cloth. If you're not sure you can just spray it on to the cloth and wipe it on like you would a wax.
Here's my entry - in its natural habitat. Only the 1 photo. It was looking clean though! I guess I'll have to enter again in May when (if) she's back on the road :crying:
Here's mine, just a wash with tires and plastics treated. The car was previously fully detailed, topped off with poorboy's naty's blue and since had gyeon wet coat applied.
Poll closes at 11:19, if you haven't already voted you'd better hurry
