Well, would be rude not to treat the car to a christmas clean....

Its done about 1300miles since the last clean and boy did it need it!! The weather, road conditions and salt made it look very second hand indeed....and i can't be having that!!

To start - assessing the task - yes it was very very dirty!:

Right - out with the snow foam, letting it dewl on the car for 3mins

Pressure washer out - don't usually use a pressure washer, but it was the only way to shift the dirt - the wax from the previous detail session had stoud the test of time and shown by some beeding

The car was then washed thoroughly to remove the remaining crap

After the wash the car was dried, using a detailing spray to help along the way. As the weather report promissed rain for this evening, rather than going nuts a doing a full detail, the cars wax finish was topped up with swissvax onyx. Before applying the wax i inspected the paint work and it seemed clean with no contamenation, so i proceeded with the wax.

The results....speak for them selfs really...enjoy!!

Merry Christmas everyone - and remember - there's no excuses not to clean your motor this holiday period!!
