Washed the car today!
Couple of weeks ago when I washed the car last time, I wasn't able to get all the debris dissolved from the sides, but now I was prepared better. The AutoGlym Instant Tar Remover worked like a miracle loosening all the dirt and made the wash enjoyable
.
I also test used a new wash mitt; Dodo Juice Supernatural Wash Mitt. Sucks tons of water and picks up the dirt effectively.
I was a bit afraid I would find some light swirl marks after the winter, but no. Maybe there is something true behind the talk about the GTechniq C1 scratch preventing abilities...?
I sprayed a layer of CarPro ReLoad on to panels too.
Few pics:

I'm not a fan of non-stock stuff, but I will actually say that your car looks great- Well done. I could do without the roof spoiler, and I'm sure that the fender vents will get you come razzing, but overall the effect is very clean.
