A break in below freezing temperatures afforded me the opportunity to clean my vehicle. I decided to complete a routine wash and apply additional protection to horizontal surfaces. I apologize for picture quality. My daughter broke my camera last week and I am waiting for a replacement to arrive; I ended up using my phone to take the following pictures. My vehicle was covered in a winter grime. I cleaned the wheels with S100 Wheel Gel. I used a Swisswax Wheel Brush for the wheel faces and Autozone Spoke Brush for the barrels. The tires were cleaned with Hi-Temp Tire Cleaner. The wheel wells were sprayed with Meguiar's Super Degreaser cut 4:1 and agitated with a gong brush. I then foamed the vehicle with 2 oz Meg's Hyperwash mixed with 30 oz of water. This was left to dwell for ten minutes and then removed via a high pressure rinse. All exterior trim was cleaned via Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner and a Meguiar's Slidelock Brush. I then washed the vehicle using the two bucket method with a Eurow Lambswool Wash Mitt and Grit Guards. The vehicle was dried using a Hi-Temp waffle weave microfiber towel and a blower. I then applied Collinite 845 Insulator Wax to all horizontal panels using a Porter Cable and 3M finishing pad. This was left to cure for 20 minutes before being buffed off with Eurow microfiber towels. A few pics of the completed vehicle. Thanks for looking.
Looks good. Collinite 845 is a great winter wax. What kinda phone do you have? Those are decent shots for a phone, better than my phone.
Vehicle looks great, well done. Bloody hell, those pictures came from a camera phone? :what: wow those are great pictures for a camera phone :nod:
I prefer the Hi-Temp Tire Cleaner over degreasers and all purpose cleaners. I used to use Meguiar's Super Degreaser cut 4:1 on tires; however, the Hi-Temp product does a better job removing tire dressings.
That's nice to hear since I tend to reccommend it a lot when tire/wheel well cleaners get brought up. Can't beat it's performance or price. Nice car, it would look even better if it were debadged.
nice lucky you got a break in the weather.i like the look of the foam all over the car so clean before the clean lol.
