All looking very clean. I use Zymol hard wax for the full clean then the liquid for the top up washes in between. And it\'s about time I took a couple of days and re-did the cleaning process.

Here is a pic of what mine looked like after a clean.

I agree about the clay, had loads of overspray on mine, was absolutely amazed at how the clay got rid of it.

Gonna be giving mine the yearly 3 stage treatment after I finish working on the blooming thing.

It\'s good to see us all passionate about keeping our cars so clean :)

Rixio, looks like you\'ve been having a different type of fun with all that snow ;)  You\'re right about Gurj\'s too, mental shine!

Black seems to come up best with Meguiars, must be something to do with it being the most naturally reflective.

RAW

i tried using gold class on my black fd the other day. it was fine on my previous black car, but on the rex it left dark streaks and marks unless i rubbed it in really really hard. maybe it was because the paintwork was cold?

I\'ve tried different waxes but find Autoglym to give the best results (must try maguires though):

Autoglym looks a very decent shine don\'t it !!!

I used to use Turtle wax on the Escort Cosworth and it was stunning finishing, thus tried it on the RX and although having to use a sort of burhgundy red version as they dont do purple !!! still very good results  :Laugh

I\'ve just been out and stocked up on some Meguiars gear. So, weather permitting, I\'ll have a real good cleaning session on my car while I\'ve got a couple of days off work.

 
Bet I\'m gonna be seeing crap weather non-stop now, though!!! :mad:

I use Meguiars nowadays and it\'s better than anything else I\'ve ever tried.  I did my car with their three step program and it came up a treat.  Then just use their quik detailer to keep it looking spotless.

Just to upset the apple cart used turtle wax, mer and autoglym whilst they all do the job well the best one i\'ve found so far is Mothers polishes. Got a sample given at Thorsby last year and bought some at JAE polished the car before the rain on the sunday, since then all i\'ve done is rinse the car of and there\'s still a good shine and the waters still beading off.
