Wash and part clay bar
 
Car was looking very sorry for itself so gave it a wash today, managed to clay bar the roof and rear wing but then the sun started really beating down on the paint work so decided to leave it as it was for the time being, hopefully next time it won't be so hot.

Roof after wash:

Nice one. Can't beat black when it's clean

GB270Adam 17-07-2013 06:29 PM

Thanks Lucky, just never stays clean long does it, plus mine can't go in the garage and we have a tree outside which its branches hang over where my car is parked, so it really doesn't stay clean long thanks to birds tree sap etc.

Looking good Adam.

GB270Adam 17-07-2013 06:56 PM

Cheers Sam, still need too spend a lot more time on it sadly, may have to be cheeky and ask Ron if he can work some of his magic on it soon.

Looks good get yourself some loppers and sort that tree!

GB270Adam 17-07-2013 08:34 PM

Cheers mayhew, we're moving in the next couple of months so won't have to put up with the tree too much longer thankfully, the old man and myself are gonna be doing a lot of work on the new place and have already told him we're putting a car port infront of the garage, future planning for my clay bar and waxing days :polish:

Its amazing what a claybar takes off isn't it!! black certainly takes some looking after! even just keeping the dust off has been a nightmare!!

Will happily help out but the worlds longest house purchase!! and anticipated house move have really put me on the back burner!!! working my way through the backlog but slower than I would like:sadnod: not even had time to do the Fozzy properly yet!! I will get to everyone asap,, thanks to everyone for being patient:worthy:

GB270Adam 18-07-2013 03:50 PM

Hey Ron yeah it's a pain, already a fine covering of dust when I went out this morning, no worries mate whenever you get some free time let me know and we can sort something out, I know mine could do with a good machine polish just don't trust myself to try it :lol:

GB270Adam 18-07-2013 06:11 PM

Cheers Tim, gotta spend quite a bit more time on it in the coming weeks too try and get those horrible swirls out of it, how are you finding the wagon? Be great to see it at Brands in September :doubleup:

Ginola 18-07-2013 08:08 PM

Looks good Adam! like your placement of the SES stickers too :) ... how long where you polishing your exit hole for? :polish::whistle:
