leave the bonnet closed lol .
you will need a good all purpose cleaner and a set of detailing brushes to get into the tricky hard to reach areas , got a full set off clean car in january , cleaner dressing and brushes for less than 40 quid i think , check them out in the traders section
I use Gunk to loosen up the dirt and grime. Then some old toothbrushes abd a steam cleaner. I finish it off then with Autoglym rubber and vinyl cleaner.
when doing mine i use autogylm engine and machine cleaner and adgited it,lighty spray with water
mind any electrics and dry off,and for hoses i use areospace 303 for shine.
