    Anywhere still open for (proper) washes / detailing?

    Can’t stand looking at the M3 like this

    Snowfoamed and rinsed at a friend’s yesterday to get the heavy dirt off but it’s still filthy.

    Anywhere open to do a wash, decontamination/de-tar, and a seal? Everything bar polishing basically.

    5 Star is closed and JC Autocare seem to be flat out.

    Further lock down coming in 45 minutes Peter, you need to be very quick!

    I would resist the urge to go at it with anything other than proper cleaning gear. The only one I would keep an eye on are the bird droppings, plenty of water to rinse them off, let them soak and don't go in rubbing with a paper towel.

    Right, Halford's Run:

    - Karcher K2 Pressure washer
    - 2 buckets + grit guards
    - Mitt
    - Shampoo
    - Decontamination product?
    - Clay kit
    - Drying towels
    - Liquid wax
    - Tyre dress
    - Auto sol
    - Microfibre cloths
    - Wheel brush + (alloy wheel product? Iron X if they have it?)
    - Glass cleaner
    - Leather cleaner + conditioner
    - Dash / intrerior trim.... wipes?
    - C4 trim restorer

    Have I missed anything? anything overkill? Bear in mind I have nothing, was in an apartment before moving to the new house.

    This will be good to keep me busy! If I can make it to Halford's...

    Get something bigger than a k2. When your old k2 does I used my fil’s k5 and it does such a better job so I’d say get something bigger.
