First clean..

Drakey

Well..after nearly 2 weeks of ownership, thought it was due its first wash. Should have taken some before pics from these Norfolk roads!!!!
Gave it a once over Friday evening with a Flash car gun, hose attatchment and popped it away ready for the morning.
This morning covered the whole car in Chauffers Edge car polish. (recommended by a mate at work who was a TVR nut).
Not quite a Si or Matt detail but I managed a reasonable clean & polish with no sratches or swirls 😃

Only a couple of pics, as usual it started to rain as soon as it was time to tidy up :roll:

she nearly wasn`t, that zip & big kid buttons on that jacket made a worrying noise as they met the car!!!!!

That looks ace. The second shot with your little girl in is a brillant shot. As said like a mirror.

Yeah, the wax is the layer of protection needed for the paint. For dark cars, Nattys Blue is the recomendation from me

As above Drakey mate with it as Matt says it gives a layer of protection so next time you wash it it's a lot easier as the dirt and grime can't stick to the paint when waxed the way it does without a layer of wax that's where a lot of people get confused wax isn't really to give the car it's shine that's what polish is for wax as said just seals and protects the polished finish...
