i hose car down removing loose dirt
wash all trim rince off spray on product (i use rubber finish autosmart product)
wash wheels & tyres with alloy wheel cleaner
rince off
spray tyre dressing on
fill 1 bucket with hot water & duet (autosmart pproduct)
start with the roof and windows
rinse off
wash top of doors, boot lid,bonnet
rince off
wash rear of car bottom of doors front of car
wash wheels mud flaps with the water left in bucket

if use your trim spray before you wash i does'nt leave any smear marks on your painted surface

Good step by step there. I must say, i tried the "spraying bumpers and trim before washing" and it didnt really make any difference. Whether i did it wrong or not, didnt work for me lol. I normally clean the tyres and hub caps last too, i stick to the top-to-down method :)
Still thanks for the advice there :wave

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...
