if anyone is thinking of getting the Wheel Woolies - do so as they are superb imo :thumb:

wheels and arches done, onto the paintwork. rinsed first then foamed;






all badges, shuts, crevices where a mitt might miss cleaned with Envy brushes;








foam rinsed off, re-foamed to add more lubrication to the wash, further reducing the risk of inflicting swirls, washed with the TBM and SN shampoo;

(not much to report here, as expected bottoms of doors were the worst areas)
rinsed again and dried with an Uber drying towel - sonus der wunder used for wheels;

very nice and what a good job you have done...

vroooom ptssssh

looks tidy, I'm anal about cleaning my BM as well, just started buying 'products', by god it takes ages but well worth it I got some poorboys wheel sealant and it seems like good stuff, and some dodo juice red mist for the body and wheels as a wax 'top up' need to get some proper wax paste though for the winter coming!

Good to hear you're getting into it Davy. Poorboys wheel sealant is by far the best product I've ever used on a car. Have coated all my alloys from brand new with it and i've never had a problem with brake dust marks

OP - Looks like you did a great job with the cleaning. White cars can be a real pain to get mint, but yours has come up well.

Rich you gotta remember the lads n lasses on DW love this kinda cleaning and would not do it any other way, the results achieved are mega and can protect the paint for 2-3 months easy. I tell ya i joined DW and have been hooked on cleaning like this ever since.

Good write up Kev
