I knew someone would ruddy notice them!
Doing them on Saturday with her being my daily.
You didn't point out the crud on the selector though
Looking forward to the claybar treatment. Never used it before and our 44's seem to shine up pretty well with the right TLC.
Only thing that's a huge let down are the peeling rear wheels. Lad at works bought some plastidip so might treat them on Saturday as a quick fix

Only noticed as It's the part I always forget to do! Had an old toothbrush on them recently though.

I've been meaning to try a clay mitt for claying the car, this one gets good reviews

How does that mit remove tar etc?

Even with the clay bar and cleaner it takes some doing so with no fluid I'm not sure

Look at the ultimate finish site for a proper clay bar and cleaner - there is 7.5% off at the moment with EURO16 code

You can get a clay and decent cleaner for under £20 - I've had my clay bar and cleaner for 6 years now and it's still going

Just think you need to factor in a cleaner with the mit anyway and replacing each year

Big pack of assorted Autoglym products and a dozen micro fibre cloths will get the job done!
Used some of the leather care balm tonight, after washing the inside lightly yesterday.
All I can say is wow. Never used leather care products since the day of purchase and it looks amazing.
Down side is that there's SOOOO much leather in the car! Took forever.


Even brasso'd the pedals and gearstick!

Tomorrows the hard one. Wheels off, arches and suspension etc cleaned up, wheels, claybar, polish...... Will take some pics of hopefully a new level of shinyness!

Been for a walk around the lake earlier with the family and there's a fair few dozen cars there already. Big gaggle of VW's, a group of MX5's etc.
Extreme camber galore.
Pretty much all with polishing Mits on!
Looking forward to it now

[Wangswong]

Ohh, no before pics but a nice one showing her after claybarring and polishing. Still to add the gloss layer on.


Off out to clean the exhaust up then good to go

Looks good, very very shiny (much more so than mine at the moment ) Guess you are going to leave the rear wheels as is?

I'll have to note down when this is next on - looks like it could be a good day out.

[Wangswong]

Unfortunately yes. The lads plastidip hasn't been delivered yet so a low standard by the others already parked along there.
6 hours of TLC to get her to that point.
How these other guys find the time to keep there's like new I'll never know.

pictures look over exposed to me... could be my laptop though 

[Wangswong]

Just a brief one until I upload some more pics.
Sunday was a good day. No prizes won but plenty of interest in the 44.
A pic of where I was situated -


It wasn't quite a chav fest but pretty close.
A shed load of Imprezas, fiestas, vectras..... but a good few individual ones.

[Ocracoke]

Looks good in the lineup. Nothing else I can make out looks interesting enough really except yours.
