Mine is going nowhere now for a bit have a dryer for car but didnt use it as I didnt want to put any heat on the product I used dunno if it would be a bad idea lol so no nasty wee drips will be trailing down side of car when it finally moves :D I actually went out to clean bike but did car by mistake somehow :giggle: bike remains in need of a clean :wonder:

Nice results buddy, gave my Mazda a good clean before I sold it yesterday, if you get the winter prep right before the salt is laid down, it makes it much easier!

It sure did only took an hour all in with a garden hose off a tap lolololol :rofl: and my lambs wool mitt and 2 nice big towels one microfibre one fury thing, EZ detail brush for wheels and some ..... G-Techniq C2. Got away with it well considering car has been machine polished once since delivered hehe. I think I used need some 5 for the alloys but will want to get them off for a proper going at round back of spokes etc too but I have kept them spotless so wont be too bad.

Looks smart and nice and clean, good to see another Gtech user, I gave mine a good wash and as it was already Gtech'd it was a doddle to clean, only an hour and it was spotless again, have now started using the T1 long life tyre dressing, as I get fed up with using tyre dressings and they dont last more than a couple of days, so will have to see how the T1 gets on, hopefully it will last as long as they say!

I do like the race blue, but there is no way the wife will let me have one in that colour!

Sounds like you did the prep work mate! G-Techniq is getting rave reviews everywhere. Easy to use, lasting results, it's easy to see why, and the results on your photo's speak for themselves! Once you've got used to the pressure washer, it's hard work using the garden hose! ;)

Thats the problem we had weeks of snow and -17 now its warmed up to above 5 and been rainning all salt gone etc I thought bonus clean it but I checked forecast this morning before I cleaned it same weather and after I finished it was saying snow Sunday :( :thumbdown: it can stay where it is until Monday indoors then it will be kicked out into the wild again.

I too had a clean. The Colly I stuck on a few months ago is still doing its job. The pic is of the new freedom sticker, the older brisky sticker n the dirty diesel exhausts.
