Well it's taken two days, 2 clays bars, lots of Detailer, snow foam, soap, and elbow grease not too mention two passes with the DA, menzerna sealant and some wax, but here she is looking shiny-er than it was:

Very nice.

I'd get that "P" plate off. I reckon that's more of a hindrance than a help. People see it as a weakness and a reason to be a twat!

Very nice, and there was me complaining because I'd spent 4 hours on my wife's Fiat 500, I couldn't believe the dirt that came out of the flat white paint.

Thanks Dave - had the parking sensors fitted today for her..

She's a nervous driver but I keep saying it takes time in the seat etc

I've just realised why there were brown streaks running down the side of the 500 when I clayed it, previous owner lived a few miles from the Tata steel works in Port Talbot.

The joys of Google maps and having the V5 turn up in the post today. If the guy worked at the plant as well it didn't stand a chance of staying clean. Can't really imagine a Welsh steel worker driving a Fiat 500 though.

Managed to get out again this morning to get some more layers of wax on the fiesta before the sun came out..

Gave it a snow foam then rinse and patted dry then waxed again...

Sprayed some water over to see some good beading IMO...

Looking good, a little too early for me! The neighbours would cut up the hose if I went out early with the pressure washer.

Mine are similarly tolerant. I'm often out early cleaning the cars or doing the garden and they've never grumbled.

Next time you polish the fez or scoob i think you should do it by hand and not use a DA
