* wash car with Polyglaze Wash n Wax twice
* Hose off
* Shamois entire car
* Polish car with TURTLEWAX COLOUR CURE (LOL if anyone has seen my paint its well.. faded a little)
* Polish entire car with Polyglaze Wax
* Steam Clean Interior
* Clean interior with Polyglaze Interior cleaner
* Tyre Shine tyres with Polyglaze Tyre Foam (that stuff says on for about 2 weeks)
* Windex windows

that normaly leaves the car clean and nice for couple of weeks unless I get stuck parking in the Dirt carpark at work (Damn primary schools)
Mate, you need a girlfriend.

How can you all afford to waste the water on hosing it down and using high pressure to clean everything? Here in the Sydney/Blue Mountains area I have to use a friggin WATERING CAN.

Do you know how hard it is to blast the crap off your car with a watering can???

I keep cleaning my rolla, but no matter how much I buff she doesn't turn into an EL.

LOL @ comment, man, she must be a real nightmare for ya. You've gotta have her there though! Such a great version of the EF species


Yeah, when it comes to washing I sponge it and chuck water on it with a darn watering can. Then....if I have the energy after that...I'll wax it and buff it up. But mostly sponge and chuck! ...water :P
