Looking very nice mate :)

Cheers guys the drums are looking loads better :)

Update So today I finally got round to using the can of hammerite I had lying around : BLaaack drums ! Next up my centre display gave up the ghost so the dash got removed to replace the bulbs. After much debate the tow strap is gone :/ (it may be back) And finally some better...

Definitely, I was worried about splashing out so much cash but I think they hold there value well so I can shift them on and get my cash back in a few years

Haha I'm exactly the same said I was done with it then went out and brought turini's and a new rear bumper Lol

Haha thanks mate !! its getting there I want the front strip colour coded then I will be happy :D

Update Few Goodies arrived today, however the weather is terrible so fitting will have to wait :)

Thanks for the drying advice the drying towels where plush one's, But I haven't tried using them damp, I will get some quick detailer and give this a go !

Cheers for the advice, It will be applied more sparingly next time.

Thanks for all the advice the sheet water technique is relying on the coat of wax from a previous wash then ? If you have recommendations then go ahead I would rather people would give me advice on the cleaning rather than how to change my car :) I have ordered some dodo juice and poor boys...

This was the first time with the snow foam and only the second time with a half decent wax and wheel cleaner if you look at the top of the post you can see what I used to do :) any better recommendations for drying surly a "buffing" technique would introduce more swirls ?

This is constructive criticism ^ I have a split opinion on the tow strap as for the badge you are the first person to comment on that. (its here to stay though) :)

I apologize for my ignorance I shall have the thread closed immediately ;), an this was not a so called quick clean. you are entitled to your opinion and after other comments I have thought about removing it but the more people complain the more I am inclined to leave it there.

Thanks mate !! :)

Thanks for the feedback, but have you ever heard the phrase if you don't have something good to say don't say anything ! btw this is the detailing section not trolling

Poor boys wheel sealant (the wonder wheels wasn't great) and dodo juice born to be mild, I needed something ph neutral and have heard good things :)

Cheers mate yeh not a fan either really some say it will make a massive difference but I think its more the amount of effort you put in :) btw thanks for the recommendation on the clay

WD40 is paint friendly and is good at getting residue off, I used it to get the remains of a stick on sport badge off :)

I haven't tried the turtle wax black car polish with the polisher has anyone got any experience with the product (is it any good) ?

Haha most likely although they may not be the best products but expense doesn't always buy a good finish. about the only things I would change is the shampoo as I said I need somthing ph neutral and I need a sealant (& maybe a better wax although the G3 is excellent for the £25 I payed) good...

Detailing thread uploaded check it out !!: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?714625-First-Full-detail-(Pic-heavy)

So I don't neglect my car, but neither have I gone over board before. my usual cleans include a rinse down a contact wash then a full dry quick coat of spray on wax and back to black on the trim pieces. So yesterday the car got it's first good detail: The products Auto glym shampoo &...

Update So another update firstly the promised pic's of the new dust caps and the wrapped bumper strip: Carbon vinyl wrapped bumper trim New orange dice dust caps Next up after posting about my mpg in discussion, (I thought it was reasonable because I have an induction kit fitted) but...

^ helpful ! £280 is a good price I would pay no more than £300-350 to get it done local to you

Fair enough if the car was that cheap :) I have been getting insurance quotes on 182/72's and they were around the £1200 mark 2 years ncd

How the f**k are you insuring a 2.0L ??? I paid over £2000 for my 1.2. Btw very nice car needs a good clean though :)

Nice bit of clutch slip, I noticed mine has started to slip last week its not a major problem just get the clutch done before it is completely gone :)
