Brolly
Ours is going in for a full ceramic coating on the 1st of May when we are off visiting foreign climes and the roof will be getting the same coating as the bodywork as it's a fixed panel in effect, when I had the x power coated the water just beaded and ran off when you started to drive.
I went for Carpro Flyby30 on the roof, rear and side windows. Let's see if that is worth the dough. Did not coat the front windshield. In daylight it's OK if it rains, but when it's dark it's horrible with hydrofibic film on the front windshield, as every drop breaks up into hundreds of microscopic droplets, and makes visibility much worse.
Very wise, when it comes to glass with movement ie wipers or opening, needs a specific treatment,
I really like those.
Tescos own? I’m tempted.I found a roll of fifty 300mm (foot) square micro fibre cloths in Tescos today for £10 so I used three to clean the car and binned them when finished and hang the expense
Aye they are very good, soft cloths. I thought they might be on the small side. I usually use towel sized micro fibre cloths but these are just the job.
Tescos here I come.
Oh that’s not what you want to do, there’s something so theraputic in getting down with a lambs wool mitt and soapy suds.
Could hardly be worse than Berlingo over the last couple of weeks since its last bath. Today I was ashamed to park it alongside a fifteen year old but reasonably fit looking Land Rover. So as soon as I got home I dedicated half an hour to bringing the machine to an acceptable standard. That waterless stuff is effortless and shifts some pretty horrible muck quite quickly. Just spray a panel, say a door, then the adjacent panel. Go back and polish off the first panel. Spray over a third panel then polish off panel two etc etc. you don’t need to drench the paintwork to make a fine difference. Four or five squirts is usually all I use. Then polish off turning the cloth often and use a new / clean one on each half of the car - I’ve never yet scratched the surface - the dirt seems to just float off. Finally go back over the car with a clean cloth and perhaps another slight mist of the polish.

I think my poor old arms took longer to clean the inside of the windscreen than cleaning the whole car.
No hose, mit or sponge was used - truly waterless
No, I’ll retain that for removal of the inevitable bird poo in the morningPass a tissue
