White APE
Well my other halfs car has been in a bit of a state tbh. Its her first car so nothing special. Paintwork was scratched to buggary though. She wants to get a new car in the next few months so i said i'll see what i could do to sort it out.
So friday came and i ended up attacking the car.
This is how she looked when we started:
And heres some of the scratches that riddled the car:
Gave it a good jet spray, cleaned it then rinsed, then cleaned again then another rinse and dry. Polished, waxed the body. Polished the glass, treated the bumpers etc then sorted the tyres and put some new wheels trims on.
Here are the results:
Scratches after being worked on:
Quite please with how it came out tbh. Scratches are so much better then they were. Admittedly you can still see them but only when looking for them, before they stuck out like a sore thumb.
And today, i finally got a chance to give mine a clean. Its been looking a bit mank for while now.
Weather was not on my side atall. Kept spitting with rain whilst i was working on her. The heavy rain finally came down when i was almost done, just had the wheels to do, so i took shelter in the garage til it stopped.
Anyways, heres some pics (sorry no before pics) and she's beading nicely :approve:
Unfortunately during the wash i managed to loose half my CS sticker from my back window so had to remove that. But whilst i was taking shelter in the garage i got thinking and dug out one of the old cs stickers i had. Few minutes with a knife i came ended up with this:
And a few shots this evenign after it got dark:
Oh, and also whilst taking shelter i got rather bored so took a short vid of the rain running down the car. LOL
