Washed - again!

Wash and brush-up, yesterday. 1700+ miles, and several thousand dead insects, the Yellow Peril was a wee bit grubby.

I gave it a wash after I collected it from the Dealership, three weeks ago, and gave it a coat of Sonax Protect and Shine. It has done an excellent job for now, I must say.
Shampoo and rinse off, was all that was needed to remove the dead wildlife, and a light overnight rain showed that the Sonax was still working well.

Bilt Hamber Dynax UC and Dynax SC-50 have been ordered, to get some protection on the underside.

Yes, BSD is good. I've been using it for a few years. If you don't dry off the car completely, it sorts out the draggy issue. I also mixed 50-50 with AG Aqua Wax. That's a good mix.

Not at all, Daniel. We are here to share knowledge.

Besides, I like eggs. :laugh:

No, Andy. Spray on, and apply with a MF cloth. Then buff.

Spray and Seal is the one that is sprayed on, and rinsed off, I believe.

Ahh thought so. I'm using the "polar seal" from Autoglym, its good stuff. Spray on, rinse off and dry. Its magic, gets same results as yours i reckon.

I couldnt live without the "beaver fur" dry towel though, it only needs resting on the car to dry it completely. No back n forth motions needed, its invaluable.

Nice to see those water blobs!
