Tom's Sanitary towel

[Toms306]

So, this month hopefully nothing will be spent on the Fiesta as I kinda overspent massively last month lol. Had the afternoon free so decided to give in a proper clean. It seems either the Poorboys wax isn't as effective at the bottom of the tub or maybe I put it on thinner knowing it was running low, either way it didn't last long, and the Simoniz quick detailer I bought cheap in Tesco is shit. It's alright for removing dust but doesn't add any gloss or rain protection like the better ones, so the SRP had come off as well...not good on a dark high miler lol, got fed up of seeing the scratches and swirls!

So did the following -

Wheel cleaner
Pressure wash (inc engine bay)
Single bucket, wash mitt, Merr shampoo wash
Hose rinse
Cheap shampoo for lube and clay mitt
Hose rinse
Drying towel dry
SRP
Megs Gold Class liquid wax (been hanging around the cupboard ages, hadn't gone off)
Poorboys wheel sealant
Sainsburys Vinegar glass cleaner on windows
Meguiars Endurance Gel on tyres
Wipe door shuts
Vacuum inside
Final 'wipe' with a fluffy microfibre

End result - (PS - yes I did get a Fiesta, Focus and Ka in one shot, shame the Mondeo had left by then... )






















Annoyingly the new plates I bought, with the ebay tag line of 'withstands even close pressure washing' appear not to take a quick pass of the jetwash let alone getting close, why cant anywhere make plates any more!? Had the same set on the Focus 18 months before they starting failing from the jetwash.





Also, is there a free way to clean up the dirty tip? I don't have any sort of metal polish and don't want to buy anything just for that lol...
