Getting stuff done, good work!

Nice little update Bradley, get some pics up of the Calipers when you get chance

Need to do mine when I get the RXII's back on.

Thanks Ben,definately makes the car look alot fresher.Was one of the things that for me was majorly letting it down.

Hmm that makes me really want to paint mine now

Looks Great Bradley, Top Job

what did u use brad, hamerite?
cleaned my arches and brakes yesterday and they look pretty tired.

Thanks for the positive comments chaps.

Tob i used high temperature enamel engine paint.Hammerite may do a simular product though dude.

Well i picked my car up this morning from the localish dealership.Has had Oil/oil filter change,cambelt & tensioners changed,auxillary belt changed,waterpump changed,coolant changed and the dreaded MOT.

Passed the MOT with no advisories which is always nice to hear.

Now going to give it a good wash.

Well this weekend i decided i was going to spend some time cleaning the car.It was only during the week i realised the last time i polished it was when i first bought it a year ago now.So i set to work about 10am.

First washed the car with two bucket grit guard method,Meguirs gold class shampoo and a lambswool wash mitt.
Second Dried car with Meguirs water magnet microfibres and clayed using a Meguirs clay bar and a water spray bottle.
Third rinsed the car off and dried again.
Polished car with Auto Glym SRP.
Glazed car with Poorboys white diamond glaze.
Waxed with Collinite 476s.

Finally tidied up the small bits of plastic trim with Turtle wax platinum series Plastic dressing.
Tyres dressed with Turtle wax platinum series tyre dressing
Glass cleaned with regular car glass cleaner.

Probably missed a few bits ive done but for a hand clean i think the results are quite respectful.

Pictures don't really do it much justice.

Looks awesome dude, just ordered some bits from elite, got some glaze, clay and wax, gonna give mine the full treatment in the next couple weeks!

Well worth the effort.

Looks sweet mate keep up the good work!

Good work dude! Seems everyones on the clean train at the mo, I was out in the rain doing mine today! And spent £80 on refreshing stock of glaze, wheel cleaner and polishing pads

Looks awesome dude!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Godderz- Looking foward to seeing pictures of yours all cleaned up

Tim- Yeh thats what kinda made me want to do mine,not quite on par with your full detail lastyear .

Looks Awesome Bradley well worth putting in the hours when you get that kind of result.

I love driving around in a clean car, always makes the journey more enjoyable.

I need to give mine the full treatment starting on Friday, its off to a local car show on Sunday so needs to be looking at its best.

Keep up the good work bradley
