So who else is Easter weekend detailing?
 
First time this year I think I've had the chance to spend proper time on the car (and the weather has allowed!)

http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psljoswpmd.jpg

Car was cleaned last weekend, and stored in the garage and not used, so dust of with crazy air blaster, then rinse down panels with tardis (this removes 95% of tar spots and crap from the paint before claying then rinse, then clay mitt (fairy liquid solution! strips all!) rinse and dry (did this per panel)

Then 2 stage megs microfiber products with the DA everywhere, rubber and plastics treated with autoglym vinal and rubber care, glass cleaned with some new super wowo glass cleaning cloths (odd name!) very happy with the results, hopefully last a while :)

Looks amazing, one of my favourite new ages .
I did do mine but 1) it's German. 2) some paint on mine is poor!

Looking sweet! Hopefully you didn't have to put too much effort in to the front end.

It will be getting a complete detail soon when I have more hours to spare sometime in the future.SJ.

That looks very clean, interested in your glass cleaning cloths as always something I struggle with. How good are they and where did you get them.

pretty good, I used some of this.. https://www.shopnshine.co.uk/stoner-...FfYy0wodTVUFqw

you don't need to smoke something to use it apparently, nothing about that in the instructions.

Looks pretty clean as it sits ;) I like the wheel/brake combo, you need to slap a project thread up at some point dude.:ok:

I've detailed the lawns today but that's about it, will try and throw a bucket over the Scoob before Prodrive next week, it's suffering from being used for work a couple of times recently in an attempt make the commute a bit more interesting if a little on the expensive side. Really needs a bit of time spent on it, any volunteers :polish:

Car looking mint mate.

I spent the afternoon underneath mine (rather than cleaning it!). Dropped coolant, new thermostat in and filled back up and test driven. Hopefully ready for Germany now :)

Cars looking amazing as usual Dave. I've got to pop round so you can show me how to use the DA properly lol :)

Bolesroor 16-04-2017 09:01 AM

Bellisimo :polish:


Who painted the front Dave?

Matt23 16-04-2017 10:44 AM

The car looking stunning as usual Dave :10: I'm going to try and spend some time on mine today/tomorrow and get a fresh coat of wax on :-D

nikkinokkinoo 16-04-2017 11:41 AM

Looks great Dave.

Rdlangy1 18-04-2017 08:14 AM

Superb results there Dave - as comments above looking absolutely mint :ok:

Scott.T 18-04-2017 06:27 PM

So it is possible to polish a turd after all !!!!
The difference is like night and.....erm.....night.

I'm sure in the flesh we would notice a difference, and the pictures don't do it justice. Any excuse to disappear for a few hours with the loved one ;)

The Handbrake 18-04-2017 06:49 PM

Er..

Steve_PPP 18-04-2017 07:26 PM

Er indeed....

Some guys down in LA, tempted to get the hole car resprayed somewhere very posh after Germany, as little bits and pieces niggle at me, but this is always the way when you obsess over keeping things just so.

Interesting idea, but early start and hard work for 1 or 2 of us while others stand around looking perplexed? :P
