The Monaco Swirlbus...

[Tigger]

...is NO MORE! :approve:

Some poor attempts at capturing the swilrs - lens I had with me is poor for close-ups (tried a load of settings!)

** Swirl pics were caught on the bonnet AFTER a pass with 3M Fast Cut Plus on a rotary!

Wipe your arse - I nearly shat myself how good the car came up!

Some wet-flatting and spot repair on a scuff

All the polishing done so time for a shower

Alloys cleaned

Dry-humping my car Pete?

Tyre slick applied!

After a quick coat of wax

Took her down the road for a few quick scenic pics before heading home

Hope you enjoy

Cheers for Pimpin' My Ride Pete
The sun made the day even though I expected rain - typical Irish weather lol

 

[richy22]

cough detailing tape (just before the more hardcore come in here!

I need my monaco doing soon

Got ABS/ESP and Serv light issue to sort out first!

 

[Tigger]

We rattled on without it - well the buffer "rattled on" :rasp:

 

[richy22]

You thought about doing the rear badges to match the other bits??

PS I like it..missed that on my fiorst post!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mucho improvement, turini's coming next?

 

[Tigger]

You had some of the loose juice tonight Rich? :cheers:

 

[richy22]

Aye a few quite ones in whilst the missus is out!

Yelling at young kids on COD FTW!

Using Farecla G3 and no masking tape like I do - a true pro in my eyes

I bought the car with those sheep-wheels on it - they've gone grazing long ago

was that sarcasm?

G3 was used on the wetsanded part and then 3M stuff was used over the rest of the car

Nope, it wasn't mate! I'm a sprayer so use G3 everyday and have perfected the art of not touching the black plastic with the buff lol

Forgot to say finish looks great!

a man after my own heart...to be honest.

though i did manage to wreck my buff. bogs inside went and grinded themselves to death.

 

[Tigger]

Now now gents - Pete was careful on the edges.
The finish is a lot better in the flesh

Dam sure, just about to wash it and put it undercover for a week as I'm heading to Wales in the morning

 

[richy22]

How did you route the CAF down to the lower grill?? when I tired I couldnt see a way to get it there :S

 

[Tigger]

Remove acoustic valve & cut a wee bit off the side of plastic splash-guard thingy behind the grill/foglight

 

[richy22]

Ahh thats what I thought...I only had a quick look as I had chopped the top of my finger off fitting my splitter

Job for Friday as well as my brake ducts then
