Bank Holiday 'spa' for the car!
Today was the day for some proper car maintenance!
So after last week's shenanigans driving the Disco out to the tidal island of Vallay in the Outer Hebrides (http://www.disco4.com/forum/topic158658.html), today I had one of the guys from Max Wax over to put her back to a pretty decent near-showroom condition. That, and he also helped to hoover out about a beach worth of sand which had accumulated inside after a two week family trip to Scotland with two small kids.
She had this lot - and perhaps some other bits I've forgotten. The chap worked on her for a LONG time:
Exterior
Exterior pressure rinsed
Wheels Autoglym acid cleansed
Bodywork Autoglym shampoo conditioned
Exterior pressure washed clean
Bodywork deep soft towel dried & buffed
Tyres Autoglym dressed
Exterior glass polished
Bodywork Autoglym Super Resin polished
Wheel arches cleaned
Door, boot & bonnet shuts cleaned & polished
Exterior trim dressed or polished as suitable
Tar spot removal from alloys
Engine bay cleaned
Clay bar, removing paintwork contamination

I used Max Wax to put the Autoglym LifeShine on when she was knew - they did it on the driveway so I could see it was done properly, and they spent about 5 hours doing it. Always fear with the dealer that it may be applied in a bit of a hurry... Plus Max Wax was much cheaper.
And this is the second time they've come and done an intense valet for me, both times when we've come back from holidays.
Can't recommend them highly enough. Particularly offering a Bank Holiday Monday appointment. The guy who came out, Josh, arrived early and worked flat out all day - without stopping!
