Decided I'd treat the Valver to a little bit of lovin' so spent 5 hours of saturday cleaning the exterior of the thing.
Started off by washing it down with Meguiars Gold Class shampoo and drying it, then rolled it into my friends works lock up. Auto Glym Super Resin polished the WHOLE car, then Auto Glym Deep Gloss Shine liquid wax was added to the whole car. Auto Glym Glass polished the windows, lights and mirrors. Back to blacked everything inc the tyres and polished the exhaust tip with metal polish.
Eventualy buffed off the Deep Gloss Shine (Longer you leave it, better it looks) and applied P21S carnauba wax to everything except the bumpers and bottoms of doors. buffed all that off (hardest part. After four hours of cleaning and it's tough to get off) then did the bumpers and bottoms of doors with Meguiars carnauba wax.
Tbh, I don't think I'll ever do it again. Was seriously knackerd, and we came to the conclusion that you cannot get shinier than shiney. Lol.
Anyways, some pics:
This is her good side. The other side gets owned in the lanes by brambles and hedges and doesn't come up aswel, imo.
Came up alrate for a 13 year old car. Not a huge improvemnt over how she normaly looks, but I clean her every week, so, meh.
Just wish she was as mechanicaly sound as she is astheticaly.
Anyways, just thought I'd sahre them with ya
