Look after that Paintwork for the winter

Post by chuggers72 »

Evening All

I've got a weekend off :D so have decided to give the paintwork a few hours of love to see it thro' the winter. How do I get the best protective finish - is it a wash & wax, or a wash, polish, wax or wash, t cut, wax ....... probably thinking about it too much! Is there a magic lotion out there that every van should use??!! :lol:

Today I washed the beast with a Simonez shampoo, soft waxed with Mer and then hard waxed with Poorboys Natty paste.

Very shiny. Very beady.
