Then  put a coat of Bilt Hamber Double speed wax on the entire car........

 

 

 

 

 

How easy did you find applying and buffing off the Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax? I'm considering using it, so looking for any feedback or tips. Thanks.

[Mr Grump]

Its relatively easy, put on and buff off one panel a time (or 1/4 on the roof/bonnet).

I actually got distracted talking to the neighbour so I didn't buff one panel off straight away, and it wasn't an issue.

TBH the glass cleaner took more elbow grease to buff off ☺️

I also have a Karcher K4, and use the Karcher foam spray nozzle - https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/pressure-washer-accessories/karcher-pressure-washer-foam-spray-nozzle-112221.html

 

I tend to stick with Auto Glym Polar Blast Snow Foam for best results - https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/car-shampoo/autoglym-polar-blast-snow-foam-2.5l-575784.html

 

I've tried lots of shampoos, and now stick with Meguiars Ultimate Wash & Wax - https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/car-shampoo/meguiars-ultimate-wash-and-wax-1.42-litre-248083.html

 

One of the best things I've bought recently is this 'Detailers United Hydro Hoover XL Professional Grade Car Drying Towel'. I can dry the entire car (Karoq) in no time and with no need to wring it out. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N1PVQS1/?tag=paujon-21
