Well guys, my car’s a year old this week, so I thought I’d treat it to some tlc. I asked my buddy Tim from Envy Valeting to come and work his magic... and today was the day.
Thankfully the weather was fine (even sunny for a couple of hours) and Tim spent nearly 8hrs on an external and internal detail. Products used were either Espuma or DoDo and I’m dead chuffed with the results.
I’ve put a link below showing the process, I didn’t stand outside for the whole day (so there’s a couple of processes missing in the photo montage), however it went something like this...
Wash the wheels with Espuma Revolution and rinse. Pre-soak the car with Espuma Activo foaming TFR, allow to dwell and rinse. Foam the vehicle with Envy snow foam and rinse. Wash the vehicle with a lamb’s wool wash mitt, 2 buckets; Born to be mild shampoo and grit guards. Rinse and dry with a drying towel. Clay the vehicles using Dodo Juice gentle grey and water as lube. Cleanse the paint using Dodo Juice Lime prime lite Pre wax cleanser. Apply Dodo Juice Supernatural carnauba wax and buff. Clean the glass externally and seal with G1 sealent. Dress tyres. Hoover interior. Cleanse and condition leather. Dress plastics, clean internal glass including vanity mirrors. Job Done! :happy2:
enjoy...

Hope this Photobucket thing works first time I’ve done it!

I was off to Tower Park to see Watchmen... AWESOME film. Cross between Bladerunner, Transformers, Batman, soft porn film, Sin City, Flash Gordon, 20’s gangster movies. 2.5 hours of bliss. :happy2: :happy2:

Neither - I was coming down from Ferndown/Parley (the area after the airport). But I had already passed the airport when I spotted you.
Was just staring out the windscreen so didn't notice your car until the last moment. Otherwise would have flashed ya!
See ya around!
