Since the weather as finally decided to turn, i decided that it was time for the old girl to get a well deserved (and over due clean).

So much so, that i have taken tomorrow of work so that i can spend the day getting it looking as good as i can (weather permitting)


Now onto the disturbing pre wash pictures (not for the faint hearted).The car hasn't been touched in about 6 weeks and in that time has had ice,snow and god knows what else on it

Now time for the start of the turn around :thumb::thumb:

i decided that today i would just give the car a quick snow foam so that i could see the state of play.Since that car was so bad and hadn't been touched for so long i decided that i would go full on with the snow foam strength and went for approx 750ml BH auto foam and 250ml water.Normally i would only use about 200ml>300ml of foam.

Applied through my AB's foam lance and using my nilfisk c120,with the 7m extension hose

Allowing the foam to dwell and do its work

And rinsed off after about a 10 minute dwell.Looking better already i think !

There are still a few marks and the wheels definitely need to be addressed,but the thing to remember is that i haven't actually touched the car yet....


Tomorrow, i go hands on with another foam,2BM wash and then take it from there.


I will update tomorrow,once the turn around is complete.
 
nice and clean but will only be a few days before it gets dirty again. bloody weather.
