Default Wash and part clay bar

Car was looking very sorry for itself so gave it a wash today, managed to clay bar the roof and rear wing but then the sun started really beating down on the paint work so decided to leave it as it was for the time being, hopefully next time it won't be so hot.

Roof after wash:

And when the light hits it right:



Please excuse my crap photography skills, it's not one of my strong points

Thanks Lucky, just never stays clean long does it, plus mine can't go in the garage and we have a tree outside which its branches hang over where my car is parked, so it really doesn't stay clean long thanks to birds tree sap etc.

Cheers mayhew, we're moving in the next couple of months so won't have to put up with the tree too much longer thankfully, the old man and myself are gonna be doing a lot of work on the new place and have already told him we're putting a car port infront of the garage, future planning for my clay bar and waxing days

Its amazing what a claybar takes off isn't it!! black certainly takes some looking after! even just keeping the dust off has been a nightmare!!

Will happily help out but the worlds longest house purchase!! and anticipated house move have really put me on the back burner!!! working my way through the backlog but slower than I would like not even had time to do the Fozzy properly yet!! I will get to everyone asap,, thanks to everyone for being patient

Hey Ron yeah it's a pain, already a fine covering of dust when I went out this morning, no worries mate whenever you get some free time let me know and we can sort something out, I know mine could do with a good machine polish just don't trust myself to try it
