Just a quick wash
« on: February 20, 2015, 01:35:30 AM »
Lack of daylight and cold weather so didn't have time for a thorough detail, and my Abarth needs a good polish too!

So last wash was Christmas Eve, and as I work everyday in Janaury didn't have time and was also brutally cold and wet. Managed to get round to a quick wash last weekend, this is the result after the following:

A clean first on the wheels, the Turismo wheels are not the quickest wheels to clean by hand (due to their design) but with Carbon Collective wheels wands and some Auto Finesse Iron Out removed a lot of grime.

Then rinsed car down before spraying liberally Auto Finesse Citrus Power and wash with Auto Glym's shampoo using two bucket method, and two washmitts. One for top section and the other for lower (dirtier) section of car. Once done, I rinsed down again.

Dried car with Auto Finesse drying towel, so much quicker and easier than the chamois leather I had and safer!

Then I just went over the car with Auto Glym's Rapid Detailer.

That's all I had time for, before it got dark and temperature dropped! Not bad for a simple wash but still some stubborn tar spots on wheels and car needs a good polish and wax!
