It's half term this week so no need to taxi the grandchildren from school etc so planned to give the Macan a good clean & polish .
I managed to wash and dry it yesterday , sunny most of the day, so with heavy rain forecast for the rest of the week and the car in the garage,today was "wax the car day".
My wife was out visiting her mother so an early start and no "interuptions", started off with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet and then gave it a coat of Collinite 845 and the finish was spot on.
It looked so good that I thought I'd take a quick photo as the sun was out, reversed out the garage , took the photos and went and put the iphone back into the house, switched the kettle on and went back out to the car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! literally 30 seconds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next time can you warn us when you're doing yours, so we can wait to do ours after the rain passes!

Looks good, they are satisfying cars to clean.

I have to admit that I actually like cleaning the car , I find it very relaxing & satisfying and now that I'm fully retired , spending a few days cleaning the car beats watching daytime TV hands down.
