Default Cleaning Piccies

All my new cleaning stuff came through today and I couldn't wait to try it!
Before I got working on my precious S8, I thought I would practise I practise on the BMW...

My favourite, the snowfoam!


The alloy wheel brush, really handy and shifts lots of grime the snowfoam couldn't easily.




It came up a treat, no washing just snowfoam.

On to the S8...

Two buckets, both with gritguards. One with megs hyperwash and (cool water) as Mike suggested, the other bucket was used to clean the Sounus washmit and was filled with warmish water.



Snowfoaming the S8



Looking all clean now





Finally a reflection shot from the garage, the cars paintwork is already in great condition. Just washed with megs hyperwash and haven't even applied any QD.



And the fleet...

Looking good there Singh. Proper care of your paintwork with good multi-layer product application will see the shine last for months.
