Default Cleaning the D2

I hate this time of year with all the salt and crud on the roads!

My poor D2 S8 hadn't been washed for 2 weeks (I drive 70+ miles a day on my commute) and you could hardly tell what colour it was.

So, a rinse with a hose (non-pressurised), a generous dousing in snow foam and a 2 bucket wash/rinse (with grit guard and a lambs wool mit) and I still had to change the water part way through! A final pressure rinse and a dry with a microfibre towel and she's looking much better!
