gave the st a good wash today
      #191972 - 11/03/10 07:54 PM

very happy with the way it came out and just waiting on a few carbon fibre bits to turn up that ive ordered.

started by given it a wash down and cleaning the wheels meguiars wheel cleaner which works great gets rid off all brake dust and road grime its alot easyer if you get a wheel cleaning brush as you can get everywhere.



after that i washed the car with auto glym bodywork shampoo conditioner then again with meguiars gold class wash using 2 buckets with a hand mit then dried off using a meguiars water magnet leather.



and the last step was to give it a polish with auto glym super resin polish and a wax with meguiars gold class liquid wax and for any swirl and small marks i used zymol cleaner wax.
got alittle help after picking sophie up from school.


super shine to the paint work.


everything i used, i did give the leather a good clean aswell with auto glym leather cleaner and leather care cream but didn't take any photos.


took me a few hours but well worth it.
thanks mark

looks good - get some protection on the wheels (poorboys wheel sealant for example) and you'll not need a strong wheel cleaner that will dull the wheel finish over time (which the megs wheel cleaner is and will do)
if you keep on top of them, protected wheels will only need shampoo to clean them
