Thumbs down Gave the Rs a good clean

Got caught up in the rain Sunday so of course had to give it a major clean!

Power wash
Snow foam did engine bay also
Power washer
Dry
Good coat of wax

Pictures aren't to great but thought I would share.

























Cheers,

Ric

Megs hyper snow foam
Dodo juice sour power shampoo
Lambs wool wash mitt
drying towl
Poorboys polish
Dodo juice red mist protection detailer
Harly wax

And various cleaning tools and buffing towls etc.

Regarding the underside it had a full restoration nut and bolt job! i just try get the snow foam underneath and power wash it off, its due a good steam clean underneath to be honest.

Thanks for the nice comment mate.
