my sunday afternoon efforts

OK, so I'm the laziest polisher and a complete novice at this, my routine was;

• Wet down the paint with the hose to remove the dust
  A bucket of car shampoo and a soft brush on a stick
  Rinse with the hose
  Dry off with a microfibre cloth
  Apply Dodo Juice with my hands to 1 shaded side of the car at a time
  Buff off with a microfibre cloth
  Move on to the next side
  Admire the results and bandage the cuts on my fingers….boy those plastics are sharp LOL
  [/list:u]
  
  Comments and suggestions welcomed
  
  I didn't do my plastics or rubbers…..what is the best way to do them ?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Well worth the efforts there fella - I use autoglym bumper care for plastics

thanks, i used the autogly on my first mk1...I should get some more

i just shampoo, rinse, leather down, chip stick (where needed), buff, turtle wax, wait for it to go chalky, buff off again and then spen 3 hours trying to remove the green stain from my hands!

I just wait until it rains. Job done. :dance:

The Dodo Juice is brilliant, makes your hands smell Orangey…well the orange one does…..and doesn't leave marks the black plastic or rubbers

Looks good to me, i use the bumper black cream for the bumpers etc, not the 'orrible spray can stuff.

I pay my local Kosovan's a fiver,they de-tar it,wash it,leather it,clean all the door shuts tailgate included!!,meanwhile I eat chocolate and read the paper,JOB DONE!! :wink:

We have them at this end as well, they do a crackin job from what i seen but not on my motor  like to do it myself then i have only myself to blame if owt goes wrong, my mate uses them all the time

try meguiars endurance tyre gel for the plastics, rub on with a sponge, comes up great and lasts ages.

Its purple and smells like bubblegum lol.

kewl, thanks
