When I got my car home for the first time a few weeks back I took a quick check underneath. Thought it might have lived on a farm in a previous life as there was loads of mud underneath. This absolute chunk just fell onto my feed while machine polishing. Must have been in the arch liner...
Those are clean as a whistle! I've found some Mickey mouse ones on ebay (the goofy ones are all out of stock) so I'll see how I go. Tempted to polish mine up and if I dont like them, repaint them. Cheers for the suggestion. This is fast turning into a bmw page 😂
Oh. Well ours are very similarly aged then! Mines July reg I think!
Well theres your problem then Mark! I've known people to wipe them after every single drive. Bit much for me but each to their own. As you say, C'est la vie!
That backbox butchery sounds pretty awful. If it makes you feel any...
Think your car is newer than mine too? That makes me feel better!
I've looked into replacement ones but for less money I could get someone to respray them and then ceramic coat them. Such a design flaw but no cars perfect I suppose!
It's called Essence. Not sure what colour it's for.
Sterling looks good but I'm afraid that if I start using it I'll eat it. It smells utterly delicious
Oh! I remember! It was @imprezaworks . Totally came back to me....out of the blue....no nudge required or anything......
It was his fine selection of waxes 😎
Morning guys! Home straight of correction today. Then its onto sealing it all up.
Of the selection I've got above, anyone have any suggestions as to which to go for? I appreciate different waxes do different things (to an extent) but any suggestions are helpful 🤘
75% is still a massive achievement on a black car. The difference must be huge!
It's hot here too (sussex) and I'm getting properly red. Keep coming inside and getting laughed at 😂.
Post some pics when it's all waxed up 👍
I'm using a hex logic green pad (medium/ light polish) with meguiars ultimate compound. I found it to be a nice balance between getting the swirls removed without going too nuts. It's also the heaviest pad I've got lol.
I'm not getting that much dust tbh. Keeping the working area in the shade...
Its cos everyone's got the time haha! Cheers, I'm honestly chuffed. This is the first serious correction I've done and I'm happy with the results. Still need to polish it up but its going well. I've also just found a section on the bonnet I must have missed 🙈
