So the clean started nice and early this morning at around 8 o'clock - as the zed is currently still a daily there's a huge amount to clean. I was rushing towards the end but only just managed to finish the clean by 7PM. My back feels like it's snapped in several places. ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Still loads that I wish I had time to do but unfortunately I'm all out of time.
The zed was dirty - mainly all the wheels covered in brake dust
Here's what I used
(less is more) ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
- Snow foamed the exterior of the car
- Washed the exterior, including the soft top
- Clayed the exterior
- Removed all four wheels to clean barrels and wheel arch liners - first time using a fallout wheel cleaner (one that turns red when it reacts with the brake dust or other contaminants - love the stuff - ate through the dirt in no time)
- Washed the exterior again - as water spots had appeared from all the claying
- Fit all wheels back on - got grease on the wheels when fitting so had to clean the outside of the wheels again.
- Vacuumed Interior
- Applied leather cleaner to seats and steering wheel, then used leather conditioner
- Cleaned interior trim
- Washed and cleaned stone guards
- Touched up various areas - front bumper isn't looking too pretty, completely littered with stone chips.
- Polished and sealed the paint
- Cleaned the tonneau with some leather cleaner#
Here's the end product
But I forgot to clean the bloody windows...................................................................................
