Thanks

You sound as bad as me, I keep quick detailer and some MF in the car for times just like that!
Very nice but some 'ouchy' swirl marks. Do you do anything in particular to pre-wash/wash/clean on a normal maintenance wash?
Only had the car about 4 weeks and we are on holiday now so haven't got around to doing a proper detail yet! Have given it a small detail while we are away, but will be giving it the full works back home!!
On a normal maintenance wash: Usually pro valet citrus pre wash, 2 bucket method with autoglym shampoo (not everyone's choice I know) with meguairs microfibre washmitt, finish off using autoglym aquawax.
Cheers
I'm trying out the Autoglym Pressure Wash (snow foam). Pretty good but leaves evil streaks meaning quite a bit of leathering.
For heavy dirt I use 2 bucket method with wash mitt and GardX Wash & Wax.
The paintwork was treated with GardX by the dealer (and they didn't put in any swirls thank goodness) so doesn't require much if I stay on top of it. GardX conserver works a treat.
Enjoy your break!!
Thanks will do!
I was thinking about getting the autoglym snowfoam but read a few mixed reviews about it so didn't bother! Is that gardX good then?
While we were out today one of Cornwalls finest seagulls decided to empty the contents of its gut onto the right rear panel of the car which was sat it the midday sun!!! Managed to soak it and using some detailer removed the pterodactyl **** from the car but it had already started to etch the paintwork!!. I sourced some Meguairs Ultimate Compound as read good things about it and I must say after a few treatments and then a little polish and wax I managed to get rid of it. Couple of pics below but not a before shot with **** still on the car in my haste to get rid of it!! It was about 4" to the left of the fuel cap and the mark was about 3" wide!!!
