Default First Clean Since October Mondeo ST Estate

I hadn't really had the time plus where the rear bumper got hit just after i had it painted i kinda lost interest in the car so i hadn't cleaned it since end of October last year

I forgot to get before pictures but you can imagine the state of it used everyday 2 kids and all the shite weather we have had couldn't even see the rear number plate!!

So i begain by snow foaming




Then i washed the car with 3 buckets, wash & rinse and one for the wheels

again i forgot to get any pictures at this stage but next i machine polished the whole car












Then gave the car a coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural wax















Thanks for looking comments good or bad welcome

Brian

I've only just registered on there although I have been browsing for years, I'm really trying to stop myself getting on the slippery slope that is detailing

Username is the same as here!

That's right, I used to just whip over the car with a bucket and a mitt, this week saw the arrival of some grit guards, lambs wool mitt, detailing brushes and some posh snow foam. Can I go to the doctors for something to cure it before the disease spreads?

That's it you got the bug

Don't think the doctor can do much its a disease called "CDO" same as "OCD" but in alphabetical order
