    Washed, clayed, paint cleaned, polished and waxed ready for Brooklands, and when I get back to the yard today - the sahara seems to have descended

    can you not give it a wash/dry and a spritz with the pink finish kare bubblegum smelling type stuff.

    I use it between waxes and its superb, you only need a little spritz.

    heres one I did at the weekend- the pic was for the exhausts but it shows the paintwork off well- hasnt been waxed since the back end of last year, just washed, towelled, spritzed and buffed.

    If you've done the claying, waxing polishing etc etc right, then a gentle hose down should remove the bulk of the sand. follow that with a wash using the mitt and then something like the quick detailer and you should be ok

    I've got to do mine on Saturday. Praying it don''t rain
