Spring Cleaning a Plus 8
1999 Morgan Plus 8 4.6
I have just given my Morgan a good spring clean, so here are the results. I have owned the car for six years now and just realised that I had never polished or waxed it, although I had always carefully washed it. So I surfed the web to see what products were being used now. Quite an eye opener with so many new products, many from America.
It got the full treatment - first it was washed with Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner. Then the whole car was 'clayed' using Meguiar's Smooth Surface clay Kit, very impressive stuff . Next came a 3 step process using Meguiar's Deep Crystal system - Paint Cleaner - Polish - Carnauba Wax. Also I used in-between the polish and wax Autoglym Super Resin Polish as it contains a slight amount of abrasive quality to reduce the slight paint surface abrasions. The chrome wire wheels are normally very labour intensive but now there is a spray-on wheel cleaner that is safe to use on chrome and stainless steel - Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner , works really well. Not forgetting the leather interior, this was treated with Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Cleaner step 1 and Conditioner step 2. One thing I've not done yet are the tyres ! any suggestions ?
All the best for the coming season and thanks for a great forum - Keith
