Having been suitably inspired by other threads on here regarding the use of clay bars etc, I took the plunge and committed a good few hours to cleaning my car. Needless to say it took longer than anticipated, but I feel the results are worth the effort.
Car was washed with Meguiars shampoo, clayed with Bilt Hamber clay, then waxed and sealed with Autoglym (I had a lot left, so need to use it up before I get into anything more exotic/expensive). The black plastic was treated with Autoglym bumper care.

The only problem is that I now know where every damn stonechip and minor dent/scratch is

That's one of the main pros in a Rangie as opposite to the mercs or the bmw's..

Six years, a good wash and wax, it it looks a brand new car! Every other merc or bmw would have rechanged the models 5 times and the car would "look" obselete..

really love this, what other '05 Car would seem so "new"? http://paulomartinsphotography.tumblr.com

Love the colour Simon but think you need to get the wing mirror tips and grill surround painted.
