@stk prelude That shine will last ages, even after it rains....

This car has yet to have any wax (pointless, the weather has just been so poo) I studied car detailing, and done a course on paint depth measuring etc for wet and dry sanding out small imperfections in paint work.

Unfortunatly, i have to risk it at the minute as my depth measurer got eaten by my dawg

When i got this car, i double washed (snow foam'd as well) de-tar'd, clay bar'd twice and done a full 3 stage paint corection with a machine polisher. I then didnt clean it for a month, and after that month all i done was washed it, and it look awesome again for another week or so.

Everytime i clean this car (weekly) i polish it as well. Then once a month i usually wax it.

As for the interior...

Hoovered every 2 weeks, leather treatments once a month. All the dash and plastics are cleaned every 2 weeks as well. my car is rarely dirty, if it is dirty, its because the weather hasnt been good enough to clean it.

I hope that hasnt come accross as me being like, snotty or anything?

Didnt mean it if it has
