Title: Luca's quick wash and rinse
Post by: luca on March 14, 2009, 05:52:04 pm
Had a little spare time today to wash the car, nothing complicated just a wash and rinse with wash mitts and dodo juice shampoo :smiley:
Here is the end result

Don't think it'd work (though I guess its one of those things best seen in the flesh.

Love the red car. Black splitter'd be awesome - almost like a mirror version of nousey's.

A 'quickie' is all I ever do : - Gentle water spray, lambswool mitt with Meg's Nxt shampoo, rinse off, dry and 'polish' with huge microfibre cloth. Takes about 2 hours including wheels and glass. Occasionally spend another half-hour with tar/bug remover.

I can't be bothered to do all the detailing that others do and actually don't like cars to look too glossy.

Yesterday's wash : -
