Dont you just hate this weather

Thought Id post a before and after picture, think it did need a wash and all this grime was after a 200 mile round trip in drizzle and fog after salt was on the road, well it looks cleaner now took me ages........

Amazing difference!

I'd recommend using AutoGlym Super Polish Resin followed by extra high gloss - superb finish, no smearing and the high gloss really makes water bead off it...

Yes Deano have both of them and been using them for years, great product but it was only a wash this time as pushed for time

TTDegs · 29th November 2007, 14:10

I've hidden my camera incase I'm tempted to take a picture of mine

I'm sure my mpg must be sufferring with the amount of mud and cack its carrying...

Autoglym Aqua Wax is the daddy when washing the car.... just spray it on and rub it, you dont even have to dry the car off properly after washing it and i think the finish is just as good as the super polish resin and the extra high gloss witch take ages to put on

I really hate this time of year, no point making the effort. Any time I spend cleaning it is wasted as soon as it rain.

I just get the grime off and leave the detailing until the warmer months.

Where's the best place to get the Aqua Wax anyone online doing it with free delivery???? I'd polish it more often with that always used autoglym stuff find its great

Mine looked the same within 30 minutes from picking it up at the dealer. Bad time of the year for buying a new car.

But it's still fun to drive!

I'm getting a Ditec treatment (is it called a paint seal) this monday. Will hopefully make the washing easier.

I so need to do mine , its always feckin raining

I used to think that Autoglym products were great until I discovered Mcguiars and Collinite. They offer easier application and longer protection. I'm a convert take a look if you are interested.

Meguiar's UK - Car Care Products

The speed detailers and sprax waxes here are so easy to use you don't get any of the dust after buffing like what you do with super resin polish.
