Look at you, caught the detailing bug ;)

Confused now and just made an order with CYC IIRC, anything I need to know?

Got AA etc? Get them to come take a look, they'll be alot more unbiased than any garage and only really focus on getting you on your way again.

Looks very smart, well done :)

Wet sand and polish with every paint job, I'm awful at painting but can still do a half decent job once it's wet sanded and polished!

Jesus, only one left now is Desire for £250?!

Just wanna put this out there, depends on what kind of person you are! Some will spend endless cash and never stop modding, they'll always find something else to improve their car and buy it. Some will think "it works and I'm happy" and stop buying upgrades. It depends who you are more than the...

Or wetsand and buff them up

Looks good, love the colour!

Wetsand and buff up?

eBay it is!

It'll probably be on eBay to be honest!

Right, been a while! Just got the car back from VX a few days ago after a new gearbox. As some of you may know who read my thread about it, there wasn't really anything wrong with it, I mentioned it crunched once going into reverse and they rung me up a few hours later to say the warranty had...

I like them tbh @markclio

Looks awesome, keep the OEM wheels though IMO!

Daniel is pretty pro at reviving ruined interiors, some of the cars he's cleaned I wouldn't even want to sit in wearing one of those biological suits!

Received my FK100P and ValetPro detailing brushes. Driven it to work, finally almost finished the roof rack strips I colour coded (only taken a month+)

If I didn't have a pressure washer id use a prewash, then rinse with the hose. It'll have more cleaning power to shift dirt without touching it, reducing scratches from washing.

Technically for the Astra not a Clio but hey ho! VXR Recaro interior VXR 19" alloy replicas made of carbon fibre Full respray and detail for mint paintwork all round Proper carbon fibre roof VXR engine that somehow doesn't eat gearboxes and DMF's VXR shocks, springs etc. New bits of anything...

I'd love to give it a go. Just a decent jetwash inside and out would probably improve that no end. Let @Daniel sort the interior and it'll be showroom fresh on the inside at least!

RDS did alright, never felt necessary though hence I didn't bother with it for a while and then got snowfoam.

@jesus I didn't, I just used RDS neat. Always worked pretty well, never thought to dilute it. I probably used about 2-300ML per wash concentrating on the lower panels, and a quick mist. Not soaking them. Rapid Dirt Shifter is similar to citrus prewash, not sure if its the same though.

No idea, I used Rapid Dirt Shifter (similar stuff) a 1L bottle would last quite a while, I guess 5 or 6 washes maybe? (on the Clio MK3).

I used one of those pump and spray bottles, a 2-3L one IIRC. Snowfoam now so never use the bottle. Works pretty well, a few pumps and you can spray the whole car. One of these @jesus : Edit: exactly as @Yellow Dave suggested as I was typing that!

Strongest/Best metal polish? Autosol?

Have got my manifold cover in my engine bay, its metal but a bit tatty looking. Best way to clean it and bring it up to a shine? The bit at the front here:

Nice one :) always the best fixes haha

Easy fix then!

Nope not that one, its rotating kind of but huge, hard to explain. Ill see if I can get a photo. it's just where most jetwashes spray in a line, this one is a larger circle. Pretty good really, its wide so wouldn't touch the paintwork.
