of our corsa :thumb: here's the step's in the way i done it..
first off here the kit i use every weekend without fail..
the kit consist's of snow foaming lance , snowfoam , wheelbrite alloywheel cleaner autoglym kit bag full of.. meguire's softwash , meguire's trim detailer , meguire's claybar kit , meguire's scratch X , meguire's cleanerwax , meguire's carnuba wax , auto glym deoderizer ,meguire's quick detailer , auto glym bird poo wipe's and simoniz tyre shine.
first up i sprayed the alloywheel cleaner on the alloy's and exhaust to get rid of the winter grime and the forever a pain in my **** (brake dust)then rinsed the car down with my tool of choice the pressure washer (lavor powerwash 160)....
next up the fun part so i swiftly filled up my snowfoam lance with a half inch of snowfoam in my 1litre bottle and filled it to the top with warm water and then foamed the car up and left it to work it's magic for a few min's while i had a cuppa....
then once i'd finished my cup of tea i simply went over the car with my long haired wash brush as i don't have a lamb's wool wash mit yet but i think it does a wonderful job none the less....
then i rinsed the car down again to get rid of all the sud's from the foaming..
then after i had rinsed the car right down i dryed the car off with a meguire's waffle weave drying towel..
then out come the meguire's clay bar and the meguire's quick detailer to get rid of all the contaminent's the car has picked up over the week from driving the car too and from work for example: road tar , tree sap ect ect..
all you need to do is spray the quick detailer onto the bodywork and need the clay into your hand and softly apply the clay to the paint using the quick detailer as a lube for the clay...
now come's the easy part of waxing i'm using meguire's cleanerwax as i find it goes on easy and come's off better than some i've used and i also think it leave a great shine..
then i proceeded to take the wax off with a microfibre cloth and it leave a great finish on the paintwork and it feel's smooth to the touch and also leave's a brilliant shine..
finally onto the last thing i do and that's doing the trim with meguire's trim detailer this stuff has got to be the best stuff i have come across for getting the tired grey time back to it's origanal black form and i wont be changing it either unless i find out if there's something that really is easyer to use and keep the trim black for weeks on end anyway here's the last few picture's..
i put the trim detailer on with an old microfibre towel that has no other use than for this purpose just a simple case of applying the trim detailer to the trim then leaving for a few min's to do it's job then simply wipe off with and old household dish towel then the final stage i do is apply simoniz tyre shine with an old paint brush to the tyre's and this conclude's my day of cleaning the car  :thumb:
thank's for reading hope it was'nt too boring

i always thought snow foam should be the first thing on the car, a dry car is best too.
good job though
