Many hours in the Sun with this one yesterday

The weekend weather was looking good but the Brera was not. She was looking dirty if you know what I mean, I had neglected her for too long so it was time make up and give her a treat.
The big three day clean. Day one Friday 11th, cleaned the wheels with Simoniz alloy wheel cleaner then washed with Auto Glym bodywork shampoo conditioner rinsed off and dried.
Day two Saturday 12th applied Auto Glym super resin polish to the paintwork buffed off and then applied a coat of Auto Glym extra gloss protection.
Day three Sunday 13th cleaned all the glass inside and out with Auto Glym car glass polish, Vacumed the inside and cleaned the leather with Simoniz leather protection wipes.
She was looking a lot better but it was still nice day and I had the time so I gave her a second coat of extra gloss protection. Job done. :beer:

Sunset - she was washed Thursday but not done many miles since and weather has been kind (for once).

Looking good. Black is a nightmare to keep clean.

Labour of love

Spent most of today washing, polishing and hoovering. Removed and degunked the instrument panel and tunnel. replaced the gear gaiter, handbrake gaiter and leather handle (Black leather with red stitching,sourced via ebay exceptional quality).

We had some amazing days lately and with amazing days comes a good handwash of the alfa 147

Took the mx5 out for a spin and gave it a bit of a clean.


Washed
Detarred
Clayed
Polished
waxed
Glazed
Sealed should be OK for the next while unless I decide to do some paint correction

Will be doing the same with the 159. Can I have two horses in the running?

 

[David P]

Only one horse per race http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/car-detailing/745785-monthly-detailing-competition-rules.html

I'm sure if you said you did it on 1 March we could turn a Nelsonian eye.

 

[keithyboy]

Right then. A month into Jaguar ownership and I finally found time to give it a proper clean.

Products used (in order):

Corporation pop
Poundland car shampoo
Autosmart fallout remover
Autosmart wheel cleaner
clay mitt with Simoniz quick detailer as lube
Autosmart platinum

Engine plastics were done with boiled linseed oil and the steering wheel with gliptone's quite spectacular scuffmaster dye.








Before and after on the steering wheel
