Talking The SLaG gets a spruce up

While everyone was away at various meets. It was the best time to get the SLaG properly cleaned for the first time since new.

So with another keen pair of hands on board we started what turned out to be a 10 and a half hour loving session on the Scooby

So, this is how it looked when we pulled up at the factory in Crowborough on Saturday morning. Not too dirty really at first glance, but in truth a LOT dirtier than it looks!!!





First stage, get all of the stickers and badges off.





followed by, a nice long soak in a blanket of snowfoam.







followed by, a final glue and tree sap removal and a rinse, then it's time for a clay bar.









While I am finishing the clay bar and giving a final rinse, Martyn sets about the wheels....

..... before





..... after




I then set to the engine while the compound and polish is done. Sorry, got too busy at this point and didn't stop for photos of this bit This is before the engine bay was spruced though...



After this came the Cherry Glaze and the wax while I buffed the exhaust within an inch of it's life. Followed up with a deep glass and black trim clean.











It was then time to put back the new stickers.



Finally, after a just a few hours of toil and then giving Martyns scoob a quick snowfoam and rinse, we grabbed a couple of quick shots before we had to run away for a night out.



































Then we ran away for beers and a big old Chinese feast
