Washed - again! was created by stiffsteve204me
Wash and brush-up, yesterday. 1700+ miles, and several thousand dead insects, the Yellow Peril was a wee bit grubby.
I gave it a wash after I collected it from the Dealership, three weeks ago, and gave it a coat of Sonax Protect and Shine. It has done an excellent job for now, I must say.
Shampoo and rinse off, was all that was needed to remove the dead wildlife, and a light overnight rain showed that the Sonax was still working well.

Bilt Hamber Dynax UC and Dynax SC-50 have been ordered, to get some protection on the underside.

Yes, BSD is good. I've been using it for a few years. If you don't dry off the car completely, it sorts out the draggy issue. I also mixed 50-50 with AG Aqua Wax. That's a good mix.
