Cleaning the D3
I've been a bit behind when it comes to cleaning the D3, don't think its seen any cleaning since before the A8 meet at the Fairmile last year., possibly late October.
I live on a farm and the driveway to the house consists of 300 yards of mud and gravel. At this time of year all that happens is it gets cleaned and looks the same again within a couple of days, not usually a problem because I do such low miles.
Over christmas I covered a lot of miles in a single week on salted roads, so now the car is even worse than usual. The polished alloys have taken on a nice anthracite colour and the car is almost black and not silver.
I want to give the D3 a clean to at least remove this dirt. Now, usually I'd just go down the road and pay £7 to the local car wash, they do a fantastic job using decent products (unlike some) but the volume of mud and dirt is the worry.
Any advice, maybe a good jet wash would be a start.
