This was booked in over 2 days, vehicle spends 5 days of the week sitting in a haulage yard whislt the owner is driving his lorry throughout Europe so only gets used weekends when he returns.
On arrival I had the owner help with removal of hard top so I could give the soft top up a good cleaning.
Vehicle before wash stage:

Wheels were cleaned with p21s wheel gel, tardis and various brushes. The wheels needed more than a clean and are being replaced so owner didnt want to much time spent on them even though they did need it badly especially the fronts
