Gave the Clio a bit of TLC yesterday after i think it went though the entire month of December without so much as a jetwash
Had a few bits at my disposal.
Here are a few pics of how the car was before i got started
As you can see the amount of build up of grime was quite a lot
As always i started with the wheels. for this i used Billberry wheel cleaner diluted 1:2
I have used a few wheel products in the past and i have always rated this
Car was then blasted off to removed the heavy soil and then treated to a good blast with the snowfoam via my Karcher
Was then rinsed
Then was the 2 bucket method with a lambswool mitt and Megs gold class
Rinsed again
The paint was still in good condition and pretty free from contaminants but i left the Iron-X to work its magic for a few minutes (while i threw up as its the worst smelling stuff invented). Im yet to try Wolfs Deacon Gel but will give it a bash when im out of Iron-X
Car was then rinsed again
Dried with Sonus drying towel. These things are great. Wring out really well and the absorbancy is great
Last i gave the wax a bit of a top up with Dodo Supernatural via a Dodo Finger mitt. Sonus microfibre towels to remove and buff. colourcoded cloths to match my car too.
I also took off the side graphics that i got from Renault. Got bored of them
Next up is suspension and maybe half cage n harnesses
Thanks for reading
