Default Rotty in clean car shocker

Not something I do often ( normally get others to do it ) but gave it a good clean yesterday, was particularly impressed with the results on the wheels, they look like new

Looks good, what products did you use? Did you use a polish/ sealent afterwards?

nah , just a bucket and a sponge have some autoglym polish / sealant that I intent to ue at some point but this took half a day ( not helped by my neighbour popping across woth a box of Magner's as I was doing it )

The wheels look amazing though I think the method I used could prove costly if I did it every time but they do look like brand new now

I do use Polish on it some times but I also find that the Kosovans and Albanians do a decent job too

Yeah it takes me upwards of 5 hours to wash, dry, polish and seal the MINI and that uses a paint very similar to the BMW paint. If you do decide to do the polish sealent thing then I strongly recommend Jeffs Werkstatt Prime followed by Trigger which gives an amazing finish which lasts for weeks

I should go get a picture of my Silverado truck right now. I haven't done a thing to it since I finished putting the engine in. This also includes all the foot prints where I had to climb in with the engine to do work on it.

It's a hideous mess that I don't think is going to be helped with any amount of washing....

You would all be very impressed with how your cars look if I did!!

Bah I thought there'd be something nice to look at...

Joking aside I do like those M3s - though they're everywhere It's a shame as they are great cars usually driven by dicks though. Like the numberplate - didn't realise your middle initial was X - sounds very mysterious

I did polish/t-cut/wax/toothbrush my car recently, but I never bothered to take pics, you'll have to take my word for it that it looked beautiful
