Trying to save an Astra
Hi everyone,i as asked by my sis-in-law if i could do anything for their 06 black astra,it gets washed once a year (twice if its lucky) with good old f***y liquid,so i said i would see what i could do in 1 day
so in with a power wash 1st wheels get 1st hit with bilberry,then again & then with pure undiluted bilberry orchard autocare (OA) tar cleanse OA 'iron cleanse' door shuts,nooks n crannies with OA citrus pre wash & detailing brushes OA cotton candy snow-foam washed with Megs gold class 2bm & adams wash-pad clayed with BH soft snow-foamed again dried off Menz rd 3.02 on a green Hex pad via a DA wipe down with IPA 2 coats of Purple Haze windows with carpro cerri glass then flyby30 (2 coats on the windscreen) plastics dressed with Megs endurance tyres with Megs endurance all comments & criticisms welcome    as you can see no protection  15mins later.............still clinging  iron cleanse doing its 'thing'   50/50 on the drivers door   refection shots
