  1. Ha Hello Jim should I have added a 6 to the V? Washed the paintwork and I must admit I enyoyed it, it took my mind off things for a couple,of hours was a pleasure and it looks great. I'm just getting the stuff together for the roof, might have to give that dawn washing up liquid a miss and go for good old fairy liquid, will keep you posted as to how it turns out. Thanks V much Jim Chris
  2. Thanks everyone and especially to Jim V much for this comprehensive advice and the links. It's the roof cleaning and waterproofing aspect that particularly concerned me. I won't be visiting the commercial hand car washes for sure.
  3. Thanks Peter I know the stuff you mean, will give it a go
  4. Thanks Peter Think I'll give the commercial car washes a miss, and my power wash at home, it's also the roof I am concerned about, I've read about the need to water proof it. Maybe I can read up on this in the manual, trying to get a digital copy online.
  5. Just got my 2007 XK this weekend she's done 74,000 two owners FSH. Appears to have been well stabled and looked after. I want to make sure I look after her On the subject of cleaning I seem to have done a Google special and got too much conflicting information on how to keep the roof clean and in good nick. not that the roof looks too dirty and seems to have some water repellency I went into a hand car wash yesterday and the attendants looked a bit worried,( not the same welcome as when I arrive in the ford galaxy! ) I asked them to wash the car but take it very easy around the roof section. All went well no water ingress and looks clean but I don't think I should have had the car cleaned this way, is that right? Any info & tips do's and don'ts on all cleaning aspects paint and roof would be most welcome. Thanks Chris Boa
