Default Yet Another Bank Holiday Cleaning Thread

Thought I should spruce it up ready for JAE, and because it will probably p1ss down and get filthy before then, I took some snaps to document it.

OK, it's not a full on hardcore polish, but it's all I could be bothered with doing. Apologies to any detailers.

Bit of corrosion:



Plus a bit of wet'n'dry =



(I hadn't actually finished cleaning the wheels at that point. The eagle-eyed amongst you might have noticed.)

Misty lights (ignore the condensation. That's another job for another time.)



Little bit of T-Cut.



Meg's Gold Class and some P21S.



Beady shot.









Fin.

Not bad, but only TangoMan can 'properly' detail a car.

Nice.

I'd ask you to give my car a clean whilst at JAE but I understand you'll either be cleaning Carries car or helping put her tent up!

Has somebody Saturated the Red in Photoshop to give the colour a bit more umph?

No! I did use a setting on the camera that gives it more oomph though.

Good job Scott. Get another coat of wax on it at least though and get a good few coats of wheel wax or sealant on those wheels. You will have removed the clear lacquer so they will need protection from corrosion.

Oh and clear that fecking garage out, its meant for a car not all your junk.
