Default First full day with S2000

Well picked the car yesterday and really happy,

Although the car has been looked after, it needed abit of detailing,

The car was kept in a barn at night and looks like its just had a few hand washes and not seen any wax for a good couple of years,

Heres the car after the 100 mile drive home -




Some nasty swirls and bits not cleaned for awhile -






All ready to go -




After first wash i found a few nasty scratches and road kill- no problem




The Megs clay bar was needed -






Not all done but i had spent 4 hours on it and i didnt have time to finish off with some coats of P21's, although i am happy.





Even put my new mats in which i had a few days before the car



Cheers Rob

You can now change your MyS2K settings to reflect your ownership status ...

Huge improvement after claying ...

You just need to get it this shiny now ...
