How the hell do you remember what bit does what? and how do you keep all that clean and organised?? lol!

Think Ill call mine a glorified wash, yours sounds like a true detailing....I mean taking the wheels off to clean them, dont get me wrong I've thought about it, but that thought usually ends in "naaaaaaah"

Nah, give over you've got to start somewhere and, as you mentioned earlier a lot of it is down to personal taste from using sealants or not to which wax gives the look you're after. I admit to suffering with a tad of OCD and living where we do, dusty lane, passing farm traffic it certainly keeps me busy

The beauty of doing a proper job on the wheels is that they simply need to be washed and, I have known the procedure I used to last over 12 months before I need to do it again - a lot of trouble yes but well worth the results.

Grizzle is right I didn't use my machine but that's 'cos I don't need it yet, there will come a time. I'm using my rotary on a neighbours 19 year old Corrado VR6 in a few weeks, I spied him waxing his car yesterday evening with some 476S I'd given him and he asked about removing the swirls so how could I refuse, I loves it I tell you

Think yourself lucky I didn't go on to tell you about the under bonnet and interior clean not to mention the way I cleaned and dressed my arches
