Emperor Ming Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Spent a few quid on a pressure washer today so thought I would give it a go. All went well so I though 'I know I will polish and wax her as well' - as you do. Several hours later and she is looking top dollar again. Its odd. I have in times gone by spent much longer on her with worse results and today was not a lot more than a lick over and she seems to have really come up great! Just thought I would share the pics.

bronzee Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Zed looks fab Ming. Nice job. Products make the difference, sometimes so does our demeanour/interest when we start the detail that particular time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Products make the difference, sometimes so does our demeanour/interest when we start the detail that particular time. Agreed. Strangely though I was using all the wrong stuff. You will collapse whern I tell you. I had a new pressure washer with a basic snow atachment so as I intended to clab bar the car - I didn't in the end as time got in the way - I used a small amount of washing up liquid to see how it frothed up I know it removes polish but I had initially intended to re do it over the weekend. Any was after having a play with that I pressure washed it off and used a mitt with Meguirs gold wash to properly clean it. Blasted it off again and dried it. Then I put a coat of Autoglym standard polish on it by hand and spent a while buffing it up. Then dropped back on to my favourite P21 Carnuba wax to finish and got a top result much to my amazement. To be fair the car already had loads of layers of polish on it but none the less the above should in no way have provided the results it did. Oh well.
