The weather here has picked up today, so I thought that I would give her a bit of clean.

On your advice, I got some microfibre cloths for wiping down. (my chamois is now in the bin - these microfibre cloths are good).

Did my usual wash down, finishing with some RO water for the final rinse; then the wipe down with the cloths.

Quite pleased with the results, although I noticed alot of white spots on the paint. These seem to come off with a little rubbing tho'.

I have ordered some Mothers Californian Gold Clay Bar from Ebay, looking forward to the results.

I presume, that I will need to rewax after the claying??

Quite pleased so far, considering she's nearly four!

Thanks for the advice.

 

Whoops, that should have read Clay Bar!

 

usually clay will remove most of the wax on the car (unless youre using a low abrassive clay), so another coat of wax is a good idea.

if you really want a great shine (and have the time), may i suggest a paint polish after you clay; i use p21s gloss enhancing paint polish...its a chemical polish that completely removes everything on the suface and REALLY slicks up the surface in preparation for wax, as well as removing fine swirl marks.

so; wash, clay, wash, polish, wax.

i just did my car today...took me 5 hours, but im thrilled with the results.

 

not too shabby for a 4 yo car !
good effort, good result !
