Well the Astra was in a real state.

It had got to the point where in the dark i could not see anything and even with full beam on it looked like the normal running lights.

So with it back from getting it's service and mot i set about it and gave it a clean.

Here it is in the middle of December

Here is was yesterday morning a month and a bit later :lol:

The filthy wheels but with new boots on.

No wonder the lights didnt work very well :lol:

So on with the clean, first up the engine bay, taped up all electrics then i used megs APC with various brushes and washed off. I then applied plastic dressing and buffed to a matt finish.

The wheels where treated to APC and wool wash mitt with various brushes.

I then coated the wheels to some Turtle wax nano wheel wax and the tyres to endurance gel. The plastic arches treated to AG rubber & v care.

The car was washed twice and dried with WW towel and megs last touch.

I then applied AG Ultra Deep shine polish, which wasnt a good move and spent the next 2 1/2 getting the stuff off, i then gave it a quick coat of megs NXT.
The inside was hoovered plastics and rubbers treated and all glass cleaned and then polished.

Although clean the car has some stone chips and a couple of RDS and swirling but it has just turned 7years old and has 90K on the clock.

here are the afters.

A couple of reflection shots when the sun came out.

It took around 4 1/2 hrs, It then rained all night and snowed this morning :lol:
