Wash & Wax time . . . . . . but which one and how?
So kinda as the title implies it time to wash the van... (getting tree sap on paintwork from that poxy tree)
took to the local american hand car wash was yesterday for the external wash . . £10 later all nice and shiny
but they never do a proper wax to protect the bodywork. (just that odd liquid spray stuff)
so this morning it was wax time..
@Tourershine would be very proud of me.
before wax . . . . .

Now i always used to use "mer" in the blue bottle with the gold cap . . . . (remember all those guys at the Sunday market using mer on a mini bonnet and setting fire to it to show how good mer was =])
anyway . . . decided to try this for a change . . .

ok . . . So i know the proceedure.
- rinse off van
- wash van with soapy water (not washing up liquid)
- rinse off van
- dry van with chamois to get rid of water spots
- apply wax in cool temp/out of direct sunlight
- rub off wax
- stand back and pat yourself on the back for a job well done
- crack open a beer and relax
My questions to all you T6 Valeting Gods are:
what different methods are there,?
what wax/wash products do you all use?
how do you all wash your motors (carwash/handwash/wash at home jetwash/dont wash/other)?
So basically who does what, when and how............................ GO >
