Seasonal clean of the merc and some friends have asked what my method is so thought I’d share with you
1. Rinse with hose, clean water
2. Snow foam, I used autoglym polar blast, leave for 5-10 minutes
3. Rinse with hose again
4. Wash with shampoo. I used autoglym bodywork shampoo conditioner
5. Rinse with hose again
6. Clay mitt until it doesn’t feel gritty
7. Snow foam again
8. Rinse with hose again and dry
9. Apply Polish, I used a cheap DA machine polisher (Argos) and autoglym ultra deep gloss
10. Buff polish off by hand with micro fibre cloth.
11. Tidy up and have a beer. You’ve earned it.
Not a bad finish for a 9 year old car with 80k under her belt.
