First thorough clean today and tried some newbie detailing...

Outside:

Rinsed with Kärcher.
Snow Foamed with AutoBrite Magifoam and HD lance.
Rinsed again...
Shampooed with Meguiars Lambswhool mitt.
Alloys cleaned with Iron-X
Rinsed.........
Dried roughly with microfiber towel.
Applied Gtechniq C2 with microfiber buff cloth.
Alloys cleaned in detail.
Applied Gtechniq C5 on alloys.

Inside:

Vacuumed.
Cleaned dash and seats with Gtechniq all purpose cleaner.
Applied Gtechniq L1 on leather.

Took me about 3 hours.. Probably less than professional result but I loved doing it.

Looking good, nice and shiney!

Black cars look great when they are clean, just hard work keeping them clean.

Looks good, I do enjoy washing my car. The neighbours think I am stupid when I come out with my latex gloves on and apply all my lotions a potions to the bodywork.

Looking great. Its always a good feeling when you look back at a car you have cleaned yourself Very Happy

Tip. Snow the paint work dry. The form will grip for longer 5-10 mins.
