Hi All,

I decided that my car had been sadly neglected during recent times. So, Saturday I set about putting that right. A full rinse, snow foam, rinse, snow foam and then wash. This then allowed me to try out my new toy (a present from my daughter and son-in-law) the BigBoi BlowR Mini dryer. The name is a bit cringy but what a brilliant piece of kit this is. Drying the larger surfaces was really quick but getting into the door hinges and wheels etc. was a breeze - pardon the pun. Anyway, 5 hours later and I was really pleased with the results. The car is gleaming inside and out and I can offload the guilt I felt every time I looked at it.

Regards to all,

Colin

Yes I have to get a bit close as the back end hangs out. Just got it wrong the once :eek: Thankfully the garage door came off worse.
 
Details..!! we need details..!! Polishes waxes bla bla

I'm trying out some new products I purchased from a Detailer (AMDetails) in Elgin, up where my daughter lives, along with some other offerings that I already had. No connection with any of the suppliers and I'm not affiliated in any way. Washed with AM Bubbles, wheels done with AM Wheels Acid-Free. The snow foam was Ultimate Finish's own product and I used Meguiars Ultimate Detailer to finish off. The wheels were then treated to a coat of Poorboys Wheel Sealant. The glass was cleaned with Nanolex inside and out. Aside from the air blower mentioned in the previous post, I used a set of Wheel Woolies for the first time and found them to be brilliant. Especially the little one for getting in and around the callipers. Lastly, I used Autoglym Tyre Dressing to spruce up the rubber. On the interior, I used Meguiars Interior Detailer as I don't like a high gloss finish. The Meguiars solution cleans but leaves the natural finish. The leather was cleaned with the MB leather wipes provided in the Starguard kit. I will look at an alternate product at some point but my car is light use and the leather is as new.

I've now got my son-in-law into hobbyist detailing and MB ownership too. :cool: My daughter thinks I have created a monster. :D
