Picked up and washed the new car

[smeems]

Well, mentioned on another thread I picked the car up yesterday.

Really liking it and getting a surprising amount of people stopping to talk about the car, seems its a hit with others too! Strangely more people have spoken to me about this car today than our restored classic mini!

Before collecting the car I had asked them not to wash it, I didn't want any additional swirl marks or scratches being washed into the car... dealer was a bit taken aback by the request but I explained I love to wash cars (its a hobby/obsession/gets me out of the house) and I'd rather reduce the risk of any more imperfections on our new car....

Now all cars come from the manufacturer with some amount of swirling, they'll be washed at some stage before delivery to the dealer and mine shows a slight but definitely within reason bit of swirls but nothing to worry about, I can correct it next year. - you might gather I find cleaning cars a bit of an obsession!

So this morning, after picking the car up last night, it sat soaked after a downpour and I figured bo**ocks I wont get to wax it but then the sun came out, it was time to run out and give it a wash and wax.

I gave it a quick snowfoam, more out of habbit than necessity then washed and dried before applying a coat of fk1000p all over. The car was bought to help hide swirls and scratches (what I cant easily see I can easily ignore!) but trying to wax a white car is a challenge when the wax is transparent!

Anyway the photos, sorry if they look bad this monitor is not geared up to editing photos!
