"i got fed up of seeing my cousin's Mondeo ST24 gathering more and more dirt each day he works on building sites and uses his car daily so it gets covered in dust and dirt inside and out. hes owned the car almost 4 years and only ever washed it twice. he recently had a medical problem resulting in not been able to work so i thought i would clean his car for him. Now im on a budget so dont have proper things to do the job with but i made do with what i had . so here it is. First off the car before i start. First off i wanted to get off as much loose dirt as i could so i sprayed the car with foam (cheap car shampoo) and then i rinsed that off straight away with the pressure washer. Then using the 2 bucket method and a cheap washmit from ASDA i washed the car. Before rinsing the car i set to work on the wheels spraying a generous amount of alloy & stainless steel cleaner on the wheels and exhaust And scrubbing with a kitchen sponge Rinsed off the car and wheels and started on the door shuts didnt give these to much attention just gave them a quick scrub to get off most of the dirt. Now to start with the interior.. what have i let my self in for. First off was a good going over with the vac. this took along time. but i got there in the end then out with the spray and i gave everything in the car a good soaking and a whipe down. then polished everything with interior spray. not got any pictures off the during process. Once that was finished a gave the tyres a quick dressing and took some finished pictures Enjoy. My pug in background..how shes changed. Products used. total time = 3 hours Comments and criticism welcome. "
