Hi all! I am planning to carry out probably a full 2 days of cleaning & protecting on my little old Peugeot 306 over the next few weeks. I am trying to think up the ultimate cleaning process which covers as many areas as possible!
Interior
- Full interior vacuum.
- All hard surfaces wiped over with diluted cleaning fluid.
- Wet vac of carpet & seats.
Exterior
- Full snow foam
- Citrus wash coating & jetwash
- Tar spot removal
- Iron fallout removal
- Deep clean wash with wash mit and Bilt Hamber shampoo
- Spray coating using ceramic based detailer.
- All door & boot seals removed and cleaned out.
- Door & boot seal locations washed & ceramic coated.
- Rear light clusters removed and cleaned out & coated.
- Under bonnet cleaned & coated.
- Engine bay citrus cleaned & degreased.
- All drains & water channels thoroughly cleaned out and ceramic spray coated to ease water flow & help drying after rain etc.
- Under wheel arches jet washed & cleaned out.
- Wheels removed, cleaned & coated.
- Brake calipers thoroughly cleaned, regreased sliders.
- Wheel jointed faces greased & reassembled.
Well, that's the plan anyway! Can anyone think of anything else that should be done? I'd like to do a thorough underbody clean but I'm not sure how best to tackle that!
Here is a pic of the car. It's looking a little worse for wear since this photo was taken, so I want to try and return it to a much better standard.
