Thanks to the sand adam has been washed twice this week, this colour gets dirty easily to say the least

 

[rodyr5]

Love it very bold choices there

ha yes that sand was a pain in the butt! I wiped my finger along the paint work, it was so thick iv cleaned mine twice and its only a week since I pick my adam up! suppose having white don't help lol

 

[alex]

Mines covered... again.

By the time I've got everything out though and actually washed it then its probably an hour + gone. I'm working all week so no time!

 

[jc89]

I used autoglym quick detailer and a few microfibers on the weekend, done in 15min shhhhhhall in time before I had to leave for work.

but now its raining! come on summer!

 

[alex]

Be careful with QDs if its too bad... its fine for fine dust and fingerprints etc but if you use it on sand etc then you'll add plenty of microscratches... I wouldn't want to drag sand over paintwork.

 

[jc89]

get what you mean Alex. I don't think it was that bad, but I'm still yet to clay, polish and wax my adam properly. hopeful for a nice day to do this when I'm off work. Iv been using aqua wax atm after you rinse the car while still wet and it seems to work for now. but defo want to protect it properly!

 

[alex]

Get it waxed!

After its waxed just give it a coat of QD after a wash and it'll top up the protection.

A QD on a dirty/sandy car is bad though... good job you've got a white car, hides it better!

I'm going to treat mine to a professional detail every year. Until then I am a regular visitor at the local jet wash.

 

[alex]

I hope you dry it after...

Buy a Karcher... Will pay for itself before long.

Have to agree alex.I bought one years ago and it has been a great purchase. I've got a snow foam attachment which works very well. I then dry it and wax it if have the time. If I don't I use a QD spray which brings up a nice shine.

 

[alex]

Pretty much the same as me then.

Snowfoam is brilliant. Mine gets waxed every 6 months which is plenty. QD keeps it good in between.

Great minds think alike and all that!

 

[Lampshade]

Going to sound like a silly question but how do you dry it?

 

[alex]

With a huge fluffy drying towel!

I use a Meguiars water magnet to dry my Insignia and the wifes Corsa.

 

[alex]

What detailer spray do people use??

 

[j3bnl]

I have used the Meguiars and the Auto Glym.Personally found I got better reults with the Auto Glym.

 

[alex]

I've akways used AG. I always think about using something else but in reality I never do.

The instant show shine looks interesting though.

I use the Autoglym HD wax and its excellent.The Megs detailing stuff is good but I do prefer the Autoglym.Might try some of the Dodo Juice stuff on the Adam to see what its like.
