A weekend of cleaning and polishing.

Cars under a layer of dust at work at the minute Pete heres one taken with the bonnet up at Carls mini meet two weeks ago. Car had just done 200miles through freezing fog on a trailor to get there, then a quick rinse of with a local garage jet wash. http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=16982

I have a load of autoglym stuff at the moment, which ones did you use to get that finish (and when can you do mine:) )

Has anyone got any recommendations for a car that gets bloody filthy within 2 days??
The perils of living on a busy road.. the car has a nice coating of road dust within an hour.

Nice pics though all!

That\'s just one coat of Autoglym super resin polish - It was too cold to faff about, but it seems one coat of this stuff is all it needs.  To wash I use the stuff my jetwash came with - it\'s a large container of this soapy detergenty stuff but as a car shampoo it destroys anything I\'ve used before, and this stuff\'s nice \'n cheap and comes in bulk!

I also tried carnuba wax in the form of Harly Wax from America, and while easier to work with, the shine wasn\'t quite there.  I\'d love to try Zymol Japon but I find it hard to see how it could improve on the incredible glassy shine Autoglym gives.

ok thanks. I use that and then the more expensive runny finishing stuff after and that worked well, but I am very imporessed by your shinyness
