Freshly washed using Turtle Wax 53340 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wash & Wax Car Shampoo.

Those tyres didn't like being ceramic coated :)

Looking good Jocko. How did you find the new product?
-
...Vivid indeed :D

Looks good. Used the same stuff on our 2003 Yaris: great result.
Not tried Jazz yet: roads very muddy and washing cars is a waste of time..
(Yaris is wife's car)

Unless the roads are dry mine stays in the garage :)

Looking good Jocko. How did you find the new product?
I used three capfuls in 3 litres of warm water, as recommended. I didn't need any more than that as I had sno foamed and power rinsed the car before I started. It doesn't produce a lather and is easily rinsed off, again with the pressure washer. I then dried it with a microfibre towel.
I usually use tyre dressing after washing but since moving house I have yet to find a lot of my stuff I put in the garage/workshop/potting shed.
I keep having to buy new because it is easier than trying to find hidden treasures!

I don't wash my car that often, relying on the local hand car washes of late but often used the local petrol station wands. I have, though, occasionally washed by hand and and still have a fair amount of liquid which I think I bought from Costco in 98... It's got black mould in the top but seems ok, it's a 5 litre jobbie.. Will try and upload a picture but wonder how to dispose of it, together with the fresh coolant from my 2003 CRV, bought as a top up but didn't have to use much.

Hello Jocko,
Just wondered which tyre dressing you use, I’ve tried Auotoglym which was ok but nothing special and have just tried tyre slik from carplan which is about the same except easier to apply as it an aerosol. I can’t replicate the sheen that was on the tyres when it was delivered. I asked at the dealership but they said it was an outside company that prepared the cars.
-
Just on tyre dressings I have heard a lot of very positive comments on You Tube and elsewhere about Garage Therapy Tyre Serum. It's supposed to condition the tyre walls and leaves a sheen as opposed to a glossy finish. Haven't tried it myself but I have some of their other products and they are excellent.
-
I normally just use Autoglym Tyre Dressing.
Further to enquiries about the Turtle Wax Ceramic Wash & Wax, we had overnight rain and when I came out this morning the water was in huge beads on the roof and bonnet. I lifted the bonnet to tuck away my battery charging cable and the water just ran off entirely. Looks as good as hand waxing.

Just ordered up some Garage Therapy Tyre Serum. I'll see how it goes.

Yep - I'd have chosen that if available. I quite like the midnight blue but it's almost black and shows up road grime very quickly.
