Middo's Yellow Submarine Gets Its First PC

[makavelli]

Well mark brought the yellow sub round this morning so we could attempt to prep the paintwork ready for fcs! the forecast was good so we set to work

the yellow sub hasn't had a proper clean in its 7 year life so the task was set

mark came round at 9 and we set to work

our cleaning line up was:

wash
clay (using sonus green, clean and shiny clay and megs clay)
ssr 2.5 with pc
srp with pc
vanilla moose wax with pc
exp by hand
victoriawax by hand

the pics:

the sub all taped up (racing blue stylee) after its claying

mark losing his pc virginity

the sub being swiftly tucked into the garage as the rains fell lol luckily we were just finishing off removing the wax at this point

and finally after 7 hours, 2 brews, a chicken tikka wrap and a sunburnt neck and face, we have the finished article, the rains were coming so the final pics are a bit soggy lol

and finally a bit of camera fun :clown:

and the 182

if you have a look on detailing websites the stuff we go through does cost, and as andy says, it takes 7 or so hours. so even at tenner an hour it costs!!

i usually do 75, 85 if you want a specific wax

[Middo]

cant thank andy enough for this for his 7hours or graft in exchange for some polished bits (youll get them soon ) got the car home and gave it a quik detail as im sad and my god it looks mint compared to before.

no offence to andys photo skills but it looks 10x better in real life than in those pics lmao.
