Brilliant job and a brilliant car. one thing though have you considered the hydraulic bonnet hinges? espcially if your going to be showing the engine off :wink:
Scott |
Cheers Scottie :ok:
Yes, bonnet hinges are now on the list. I have never cleaned the "Oily Bits" before so it was never high on my priority list. But now having done it once, my priority will be to get it tidied up and looking blingy under the hood :cool: I am surprised just how enjoyable it all was. I had a brilliant day and a great laugh along the way :nod: |
very nice worzel,did you use a mop 2 polish or just hand.

cracking pair of cars, those too.
engine bay came up brilliantly :doubleup: |
Nice one Worzel, looks very clean mate :ok:
|
Cheers Fellas :ok:
|
Cracking job there Chaps!
That engine bay is a treat!!! SLaG looks sexy - love the small SES plate!! :SMBLU: |
Cheers Keith. :ok:
The problem with going FMIC is you really want to take the front number plate off. But it looked awful without anything on it. So having the sticky plate on the bonnet it was just a case of creating something to fit over the old plate position. It's just some 3mm thick Aluminium, but I think it does the job pretty well :nod: |
Wow nice effort,really looking like new car:10:
Jura |
Nice job guys, came up really well...
Looking good for the ring :-) |
Very nice job indeed, i hope it was driven home carfully and tucked away.
Whos the little yobo trying to nick martyns scooby :lol: http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w...g/SG2_1344.jpg |
Looking good :doubleup::10:
Trouble is, keeping it like it is now.:rofl: |
Lovely job guys:doubleup:
Great looking car Mr Worzel sir, do prefer the look with scoop back on imho :nod: |
Cheers all for the kind comments :ok:
Rich, the yob nicking the Martyns car is a local villain, Robbin Hoody. The scoobs the daily driver again now, so not much chance of going under wraps. :sadno: Ian, tell me about it. Like I said earlier though, I actually really enjoyed doing it, so it's given me a taste for it. Bolesroor, funnily enough, I got the replacement bonnet grill back from RCM today. And I really think I don't want to put it back on. I like it with the scoop back on there too. There may be a Carbon Bonnet Grill in the for sale section very soon :nod: |
definately worth the time and effort, engine bay looks spot on!:doubleup:
|
Looking great Worzel - do you offer out your detailing services??
|
Like the car love the Badgeing. Is that a proper 3d Ring badge i see there? :yeah:
|
Pics look great mate.
Was a fun day ,and very rewarding to see all the hard work was worth it. Was good to see how all the new products worked. hey, i reckon the old Autoglym plan worked too:mrgreen: |

Looking good! - if you just snowfoam regularly you'll find it really easy to keep clean - did you glaze with a DA or rotary?
If you could bring the RCM grille to a meet sometime I''d like to see if it's possible to fit one to my Bug, nobody makes them for the bugs :'( |
Cheers again lads :ok:
Nige, yes, that's the spare 3D badge I bought at the Ring last year. I like the badgeing now too, thats the advantage of removing it completely, putting it back exactly how you want it :ok: Martyn, I reckon they all believe we used Autoglym too :lol: In fairness we did use the tar remover and the metal polish for the exhaust :nod: Steve, no, got rid of the Golf, Laura is now driving the ST. It was far too much to keep 3 cars going really. Insurance, tax, fuel, servicing etc was just costing far too much. Nick, yes mate, no problem, I will bring along somewhere for you to have a look at. Greg............................. maybe............................. :wink: |
Looks fantastic Steve. Love the destickered look. Good job matey :ok::polish:
|
Cheers Steve :ok:
|
Amazing how a car can brush up with just a little/lot of TLC. Nice job, and 2nd the notion of keeping the scoop on. I think it looks better/right and more aggresive.
|
Cheers Rob :ok:
It's only after doing something like this that I realised just how "average" it looked before. One full day like that, followed by regular love sesh's should keep it looking better. Yep, I agree about the scoop. I can't see me putting the grill back on now. |
Awsome looking clean motor now mate !! fantastic work loovin the badges too
:10: |
WOW. That looks the nuts mate. Fancy doing mine. For a price of course.
|
We can be hired .Yes:doubleup:

Looks stunning mate, loving the new badge too, did you only use autoglym products? Wheels came up really good too, did you use any sealent on them? Only ask as your going to the ring soon so your wheels are gonna take abit of a hammering brake dust wise.
|
Cheers Andy:ok:
We didn't use Atoglym apart from tar remover for some tree sap removal at the start of the day and metal polish for the back box. That was all a bit of a jest. Wheels were sealed mate, so hopefully shouldn't be a problem. |

Looking shweet steve:more:

So come clean then (excuse the pun) like every great detailer, what products did you use then? Write it down, I wont tell anyone :paranoid:
|
Flippin heck, what didnt we use;-)
|
Keep the CF bonnet grill for when you come to your senses. Different look when you get board :drive:
|
Really need to get mine back to it's best - after the last proper clean it's now got water marks all over it from a thunderstorm really haven't got time to do it all again!
|
Thats cleaner than new
Very impressive |

Trouble is Nick, they look great for a day or so and then go back to normal. Mine is now covered again :brickwall: |
Quote:
Oh well, guess what I'll be doing again this weekend :polish: :mrgreen: |

Know what you mean with using it as a daily again. I was seriously toying with getting something to use for work, but when you add it all up, its mad running two for me and the mrs car. Also, the car runs better being used daily anyway. |
