Artic 182- cleaned, polished and sealed

[Jamie_182]

well ive had the car since the beginning of january now and thought its about time i polished it.

plus its the east midlands meet on sunday so thought i'd get it looking nice and fresh for the weekend by cleaning it inside and out.

the paintwork on the car is pretty immaculate, no swirls that i can see of.

only used Autoglym polish and Autoglym sealent as im no detailer as well as Autoglym bumper care on the plastics.

took a good 3 or 4 hours this morning and went out to get some pics, comments welcome.

You had to get a shot of the recaros in there didn't you ;-)

That looks really clean. I've gotta clean mine up soon. Need to get some proper polish and some cloths.

ive just used Autoglym for now, as the summer gets nearer want to give it a proper going over probably with some Gtechniq products.

Really nice mate. Get some "cean" plates and it will look job-on

No mate its a scorpian RS192 cat back system.

Cheers they are nice, hold you well. They were already in the car when I bought it. Think they were put in brand new last summer.

No I haven't used that before ill have to try it. I had an imp blue zs before the clio as well lol!

No its just had the cup springs replaced with eibach proline's which iirc give the same 20 mm drop.
