Christmas Eve wash and wax....

As is pretty well known, I do not wash my car as often as some of you guys, however, when I do wash it, I tend to seriously wash it

Before










After







I washed it with dish-soap, clayed the boot, bonnet and roof and glass, then finished off with a Carnuba wax.

Black trim done with son of a gun, tires with Meg's long lasting gell stuff, Wheels with Megs wheel detailer and Megs metal polish (the polished bits).

Total time was just a little over two hours......
