United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Firenze Red
Deep clean and wax

Decided to treat the car to the diamond brite finish wax I had with my Antara when I paid for the treatment, got a nice pack with cleaning stuff and a bottle of the diamond brite, So cleaned it down with the Hydro-worx washer, foamed it first then rinsed it off followed by leather dry. Then before the sun got up I did the wax bit, looks good now and once the roof rails are on Monday hopefully it will be a while before I wax it again Smile

Sadly the pictures dont do it justice, the deep metallic shine is better in real life Smile

I thought she was having something else done when I read the tittle then I realised it was the car! I like the sunscreen it will protect her insides from UV exposure!

It almost looks like you have got an oversize sunscreen & cut it down to size as I have done. I've cut mine a few cm longer & the bottom edge pushes in between the dash & screen to hold it in place. At the mirror I have just cut an inverted T & flaps are against the back of the mirror! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Used this for the 1st time today. Car was mainly covered in dust as, Harvest time here, but there were a few tar spots. Very pleased with the results and the easiest to get a quick clean and shine that I've found. Didn't use it on the wheels, though as I've found it much easier to use wet method. All told just over the hour.
