I like to wash them all by myself cars and bikes http://www.srt8.eu/images/smilies/smile.gif

Here is the right way!

1. Pressure wash to remove loose dirt.

2. Soak with snow foam.

3. Whilst snow foam is left to dwel I spray a detergent under the arches & agitate with a soft brush.

4. Pressure wash to remove snowfoam from the body.

5. Spray tyre face with detergent & scrub with soft brush.

6. Clean wheels with Bilberry wheel cleaner & a selection of brushes, I clean both the front & the back of the wheel (inside the rim)

7. Pressure wash wheel arches to remove dirt.

8. Using a small round Swisswax style brush I do the door, bonnet, boot shuts, around the filler flap & around the edges of all the chrome trim, window seal etc using just water & Meg's Shampoo Plus.

9. Wash body using lambswool wish mitt & 2 bucket method, rinse the mitt in the clean water bucket often.

10. Pressure wash off all shampoo.

11. Using my blow drier I blow the water out of all areas where water gathers, this avoids unsightly streaks of water emerging once the car has dried.

12. Dry with a drying towel whilst spritzing the body with a quick detail spray to lubricaate the towel, also dry wheels last.

I only wash the 911 100% of the time. The other rides go to the car wash place.
