A 'quickie' is all I ever do : - Gentle water spray, lambswool mitt with Meg's Nxt shampoo, rinse off, dry and 'polish' with huge microfibre cloth. Takes about 2 hours including wheels and glass. Occasionally spend another half-hour with tar/bug remover.

I can't be bothered to do all the detailing that others do and actually don't like cars to look too glossy.

Yesterday's wash : -

Will give it a try and see, if not i'll just do the full splitter in black :smiley:

Im doing vinyl but unsure whether to do the middle section like greenhouses or the whole thing, should be sorting it in the next few weeks :happy2:
