After only 9 days of motoring the thing was filthy. I've never washed a car by hand before, and I have no hose, so it could have turned into a total nightmare. However, I'm glad to say that the results were ok for a first attempt.

A couple of pics for anyone who's interested...

Looking good.

Check the guides here www.polishedbliss.co.uk to find out how to keep it looking good, check the 2 bucket wash method especially.

It needs some wax. I use Swissol. Awesome results:

You missed a bit

I used some meguiars nxt tech wax on it, but being my first time and all I haven't a clue whether i used the right amount or not!!!

Looks like you used a bit too much on the number plate - you've rubbed some of the numbers off completely!!
