lol, I had a choice. Either clean the car or clean the house. No chance I'm letting the missus loose on the car with a bucket and sponge so she got the house. Smile FFRR TD6 HSE

Hope you put some wax on the car, not just polish?

You certainly do. Anything labelled polish cuts the top layer of the paint off - therefore it oxidises very quickly if left unprotected and will need another cut soon.

Personally I use meguiars Hi-Tech Yellow #26 wax this is recommended for dark blue, black or green cars. It was stunning on my oslo blue RR.

I have recently used AG Extra Gloss Protection and after the odd application, was pleased by the results.

Nice one; the Megs looks great and is a really easy product use. Maybe also order a gift for the OH. Spending all weekend making your car shinier will very quickly land you in the cnut book!

I (think I ) escaped this by doing her car too. Wink

The same could be said about so many things in life - yet we carry on.
