Starting to look really good now and was good to see paint in very good condition.

Dried the car off again and then onto waxing the wheels

Next the megs endurance tyre gel, this is the 1st time i have used this product from some sample sachets aquired last year.
I decided to get the 303 out and get rid of the wax marks on the window trims which the dealer left for me! also went under the bonnet.

Thanks for looking.

Looks very nice Jontymo; you certainly have put all that cleaning kit to good use. Must get hold of that wheel wax....currently I am using Autoglym wheel sealant which deflects brake dust from the alloy rather than it being an out and out cleaner.

:thumb: not only do you have a very nice looking, and clean motor, you even have a guard sheep!

RESPECT. :worship:
 
Excellent job!!

Thought the pictures looked familiar you live only 4 or 5 doors up from my mother in law.
 
looks great :thumb:
& i bet your neighbour with the astra is choked everytime he has to leave the house :what:
 
Very nice, to me that looks like a very thorough cleaning and polishing, at what point does a good clean become detailing?
