    At last a weekend with decent weather. Seeing as the sun was out and it wasn't minus temperatures I thought I would give the A6 a well needed clean.

    Forgot before pics for but took a few afters.

    Wheels were cleaned with some wonder wheels followed by Wolf's Chemicals Decon Gel. Pressure washed between the two and then de-tarred with some cheapy tar remover that I had lying about.

    Car and wheels then pre-washed with valet pro citrus pre wash at a 10-1 ratio and applied through a pressure pump sprayer. I left this to dwell for about 10mins. Really impressed with this product which removes a lot of the grime.

    Pressure washed the car and then used the nilfisk foam bottle (still to buy a proper snow foam lance) with a mix of turtle wax and water. Does an ok job for now.

    Rinsed the car and then washed with two bucket method and meguiars microfiber washmits. Dried using various microfibers.

    Then gave the body work a quick detail using poorboys qd+. First time using this, but It was pretty easy to apply and buff up. Gives a nice deep shine with decent reflections. Will see how it holds up once it rains etc.

    Wheels were given a coat of poorboys wheel sealant and then dressed the tyres.

    Anyway enough rambling, here are a few pics.
