Default A deserved clean!!

Gotta love black cars!!! for about 10mins after washing them
My babies sooo new and every little scratch / stone-chip stands out like a sore thumb to me.
Thought I`d best take some picture to keep, just to remember, black cars can be clean, & to share with my fellow Cee`d owners.

Hope you like.

Looking good mate, but you didn't dress the wheel arches

Only kidding, but I do hope that you're washing properly and not using a sponge

Nope, funny micro-fiber thingy, ten minutes after cleaning it I was out and about and it`s covered in dust - and the wheel arches - filthy.
You can go too far when cleaning, I`m not a detailing nut by any means. Just want to keep the family/work car reasonably clean.
...and on these Norfolk roads, it ain`t easy!!!!

Couple of hours max.... quick soapy wash, then again with fresh water, rinse and a quick polish/wax combination.
Busy bee with work and family life, just like to keep on top of the muck,
