I figured I should take advantage of the excellent weather and give the car a good clean. Used a range of Autoglym products and pretty much did everything. Started with a pressure wash, then two buckets, rinse, polish, extra gloss, back to black, alloy sealant and finally some fast glass. I'm pretty happy with the result, great mirror shine that looks much better in real life.

I polished mine today with some of that autoglym stuff, not sure what polish it was though :) smelt good :D
Probably should of actually given it a good wash before though...
Yours looks very very clean though:p

Owning a black car it means it gets dirty really really easily, so it gets hosed down at the jet wash every 2 days just to keep it looking clean ish, then gets a proper wash at least once a week (buckets & sponges etc..) and every month and/or if I'm going down to a show or something, I'll properly detail and clay the car with Auto Glym, but sometimes break out the Dodo Juice for a good claying :D

Car looks gleaming dude, I bum clean cars haha..

With a pressure was you have to be careful not to put swirl marks in while pushing the dirt off the car. It took me about six hours or so...

Didn't want to clog the forum with another thread, but I went for a trip in the snow today, or at least what's left!

Andy your Fiesta looks the dogs! I was after a Fiesta like that for my first motor but they're pretty expensive, even for base model '02 plate scrapheap dodgers!
