Weekend Spring cleaning activities

[Woodie]

So this past weekend, my scheduled detail didn't happen for the second time as the owner once again did not pitch up with his car. As I was already psychologically prepared for a day of detailing, I decided that it was a good time to do some Spring cleaning on my own car. The exterior got the normal wash treatment, and I spent several hours of quality time with the wheels and wheel wells. Part of the wash cycle was using my recently acquired Meguiars Super Soap in the foam lance. I am really happy with the foaming action and dwell time and would rate it better than the Hyper Wash. The advantage that Hyper Wash has is the higher dilution ration (400:1) which means it's more cost effective compared to the Super Soap with its standard 128:1 dilution.

The wheels were scrubbed down with Meguiars Wheel Brightner and several brushes. A couple of tar spots were treated removed with Eucalyptus Oil. Once cleaned, the rims were treated with Rejex and the tyres got the now customary coat of Wheel Wax Extreme Black dressing.

The wheel wells were sprayed with Meguiars APC, which was left to dwell for a few minutes and then agitated with a variety of brushes to remove the stubborn dirt and grime that had built up since the last deep clean. Once cleaned and dried, the plastic bits were treated with 303 and the visible metal suspension bits got a coat of Rejex.

Unfortunately it would seem that God either has a warped sense of humour, or isn't a detailer, and the drive in to work this morning was in very wet conditions
