Thanks for the nice comments and likes plus the funnies , I already use a lambs wool mitt for washing the car with a dip bucket for rinsing it out between panels but as my car was so badly looked after before I got her it was a losing battle right now she is nearing the end of an epic detailing / correction by Ed at Devine Detailing , he will post a complete thread ( with my permission ) of what a mare it's been when it's finished.
I also use a Karcher with foam lance etc etc etc, I have used wheel wax etc as well so it's not as if we haven't tried but as I say she was so un loved by the previous owner but that I now being put right.
