Detailing

Started with the detailing of the RRS

I cannot believe the difference claying makes....to say i was sceptical to begin with was an understatement but my god i was shocked at how much rubbish came off and now how smooth the paintwork is to the touch. Just need a good window of weather to get the Das6 out and get the polish on and job's a goodun

I rinse my car most evenings with just a hose, as jet wash is too noisy, and dry towel it........lovely fresh feeling to it most evenings when I get in from work.....now going to be away in Dubai for 2 weeks.....left instructions to have it cleaned before I get back!!

I've been known to rinse the car after a days driving in the rain, only when it's beading after a wax, puts it back to looking it's best without all the dirty spray along the side, and in the rain too Laughing

Thinking of a resin bottle so I don't need to dry afterwards as it will be 0ppm water so no water etching

I have started rinsing my car every night too then drying too.
I went on a date yesterday and on driving to the pub to meet him, it rained a bit then stopped, so not wanting to turn up with a rain splashed car i pulled up round the corner got out the drying towel then quick detailed it. All in a LBD and heels !

This is the one i thought about
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...K:MEWAX:IT

Says it is filled with Purolite DI Resin in the main text (which on DW they say is a good brand), but looking there smaller text say Virgin DI Resin Confused

So it might be better to buy the empty tank like you linked and buy the better Purolite, normally one bag fills the tank twice.

and buy the 3m extendable pole to wash my windows with, £15 a month and it will have paid for itself in a year Twisted Evil
