Got back From A Week in Wales and it towed the caravan like it wasn't there.

Fitted the wheels, mud guards & side steps yesterday and really pleased as wasn't sure if the wheels would suit the Orkney grey.

Getting picked up to go back to dealer as the bloody rear door takes about 4 goes to open

Now its time to purchase some detailing kit, the list stands at:
Snow foam PH Neutral.
Already got 2 buckets and wash mit.
Got bilberry wheel cleaner.
Shampoo ??? not sure what to get.
Wax??? same again not sure.
does it require sealed after this.
Any advice welcome.

Is it worth doing all this as? I live up a 1/2 mile dirt track thats either dusty or muddy  Now gone Orkney grey SDV6 HSE with body style kit contrast stitch ebony leather, privacy, black piano, 22" Lowenharts for summer, 20" with Leon LTZ for winter.

That looks stunning, wheels suit it really well!

Enjoy  LCFC. Receiver of threatening letters from Overfinch.

I'd not worry about a snow foam and get Meguiars Hyperwash instead, that also answers your shampoo question too (If its good enough for Polished Bliss, its good enough for me )

Wax - depends if you're a wax or sealant man to be honest. Personally, I don't have the time for wax these days and prefer a longer term solution. Currently using GTechniq's C1.5 Silo Seal. So easy to apply and last ages, lovely finish it leaves too

If wax 'is' your thing, I'd go for something like Dodo Juice Supernatural over the top of some lime prime lite.
