Warriorbez, first you need two buckets, a sponge made from the fluff off a lambs nutsack, biodegradable snow foam ( and lots of bleach as the drive will turn green Rolling Eyes ) a pressure washer ( with a metal pump, plastic ones are laughed at) microfibre drying cloths (colour coded and one for each panel) and a spare 35 hours one Saturday afternoon! That's before you start with the pre wax cleaner, polish, sealer, sealer shine.
Then when you have finished the wheel arches, you can start on the main body of he car.

Pinkies website is ok but www.toeknee.co.uk is better Rolling with laughter

Just enjoy Thumbs Up


Taz,
Have you been filming me? Sounds exaclty like one of my cleaning days. But you forgot the grid guard. And you've reminded me, I need some clay. Should be easy for a supporter of the 'Potters'! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

it's not about keeping it clean. It's also about looking after the paint, removing all crap that sticks to it and keeping the paint swirl free (which more difficult for toeknee and i cos our cars are black).

In other words, pride in possesions. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

England 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Galway Green

I like to keep my car as clean as possible as they cost a lot of money and i like it to look as good as it can.
When i part ex'd the sportage for the FL, the dealer said that it was cleaner than their cars.
My neighbour thinks i'm potty as he never sees me drive it. He thinks i just get it out of the garage to clean it and put it away again. 59 TD4e XS in galway green
