    I get the occasional dribble (happens to us all when we get to a certain age ) but getting the R-Line front end clean is difficult especially where the spotlights meet the outer edge -it’s a weird angle and I struggle getting the sponge in there to clean it properly...

    iDiesel, get a microfibre wash mitt. Sponges just push dirt particles around as you clean so you'll end up with swirl marks in no time.
    The microfibre works by pulling the dirty away into the glove. Combine that with using two buckets, one for the suds, the other with water for cleaning your mitt per panel. Your paint will love you for it.
    And no more hard to reach places!

    Washing with a sponge - wow. That is like using an electric stun wand on race horses, the detailing authorities will be around raiding your joint shortly.
    Do yourself a favour and bin that sponge, get a wash mit.

    Touche sir, I take my hat off to you, but make sure that it is dried with an air blower.
