Bloody Weather...

[Gweebs]

I was planning a 3 day assault on my car.

Thursday after work, clean and clay everything.

Friday after work, another clean followed by P21s Wax.

Saturday another coat of P21s. Then off to FCS


But it looks like thats out the bloody window. Looks like it'll be dirty for the FCS.

 

[Ads_172]

Pah, get out in the rain and give it a wash and clay...

The weather 'should' improve tomorrow and be fairly nice on Sunday according to the forecast...

 

[_Kenny_]

I wanted to put a coat of SRP, EGP and Carnuba wax on and have arranged a half day off work today to do it...and after great weather yesterday it's pissing it down. Fook!

 

[Rich]

Raining here earlier, stopped now though.

Got the day off, so will risk trying to do some in a bit.

Just need to polish the glass, give it a coat of wax, finish the wheels and do the leather and she is done anyway.

 

[Lee]

At this rate mine is going to be lucky to get a wash and hoover.

Jay is supposed to be doing the works on it tomorrow, but if this rain continues it's never going to happen.

 

[Jonaldinho]

Absolutely pissing it down at my bit as well, going to get the car from the painters later as well so its going to be manky even after the 5 mile trip home. Disaster!

 

[Rich]

Well thats the leather, wheel arches done and the wheels and glass polished. Time for lunch, very grey still but no rain as yet.

 

[cleanyourcar]

Ah yes, but what the rain does mean is (I took that this morning after giving the A3 a wash last night):

 

[Middo]

^ lol nice pic! my cars in the bodyshop at the mo getting resprayed so the paint works nice and fresh for FCS, but that means i only have saturday night to give her the works and if its raining i'm dicked lol

 

[Nafoff]

[Gweebs]

WOW, excellent pic....hope mine looks slightly like that.

 

[Rich]

I'm petty much done now, easy day tomorrow. Final coat of wax and a wipe down with the Chemical Guys anti-static Q.D in the hope it will stay clean on the way to the show. Polish the metalwork.

Hopefull as long as it stays dry on the trip up just a Q.D at the show and dress the plastics and rubber, not risking that lot streaking or splaterring on the way up!

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

How far have you got to go to the show then?

 

[Rich]

About 90 miles

 

[clio__chris]

mine got a shampoo and done the black bits

best its gonna get im afraid

god i need a garage!

 

[Alan]

Jus finished mine.....washed, QD from chemical guys, coat of XXX carnuba wax, plastics sorted, wheels sorted, tyres dressed glass polished, leather done....but got 315 miles to drive tomorrow lol

 

[Rich]

I just need to polish my backbox!

 

[Billy]

Hoping to do mine tomorrow weather permitting

 

[ukaskew]

No cleaning for mine, got a quick 30 minute wash last night but then got really dirty on my 120 mile blast around Somerset and Devon today. Forecast here tomorrow is rain so that's my final chance out the window.

 

[Rich]

Ignore the forecast, was supposed to rain here today, 3 drops!

 

[Alan]

Only 3 Rich, we had about 6.5 drops just outside Glasgow lol

 

[Rich]

LOL

See what tomorrow brings! Still it's ready to go as it is if need be. Intrested to try if the CG Q.D is really anti static on the way.

 

[Alan]

Well today was the 1st day i used it, seemed to be very good, but it aint gonna stop flys at a combined speed of over 100mph lol

 

[_Kenny_]

I finished at 22:10 hours. It got bright about 18:00 hours here.

I washed it, XXX carnuba wax, cleaned and waxed wheels, went over some trim I had done on Tuesday, dressed tyres and wiped the inside of the windows.

Only problem was I couldnt get the screws out of the old spoiler so I could fit my 172 one but the man called Alan will help me with this tomorrow. LEGEND!

 

[ukaskew]

Ignore the forecast, was supposed to rain here today, 3 drops!

Is it sad that I'm sat here waiting for it to stop raining? Been constant all morning and apparently it's only going to get worse. Better clear up before about 5pm as I'm hoping to be in bed by 10pm, need to be up at 4am!

Do they let people in with dirty cars?

 

[Rich]

Looked out the window at 9 and it was dry, moved the 306 of the drive to get the 182 out and the rain started, not stopped since here either! Mate is sat waiting doing the same as you wanting to start on his 205 Gti.

Dirty cups are fine I hear!

 

[BRUN]

Nooooooooooo

was about to give mine its final pre FCS wash and the rain has started !

all i got done was polish my tailpipe

 

[Rich]

Just watching the forecast, meant to clear up later, not sure how much later though!

 

[BRUN]

best be soon, ive a lot to do

ive not done any trim yet and i need to wax my wheels and shine the tyres aswell

was hoping to give the PC another go with the SSR2.5 but thats lookin unlikely now

 

[jay s]

im not going fcs now but tomorrow seems to be the bestday for weather, sunny all day at lutterworth i'll keep my fingers crossed...

 

[Rich]

I would leave the trim mate, I would do any dressing like that and tyres at the show.

 

[Lagerlout]

Pissing down here. Was supposed to be detailing a Lotue Elise today. No go.

 

[dannyboy172]

Raining here in malvern again....man i wish i had a garage!

Oh well, the wax seems to be doing the trick anyway.

 

[Rich]

Brightnening up slightly now. Still raining though.

 

[BRUN]

I would leave the trim mate, I would do any dressing like that and tyres at the show.

[Dave S2K]

All I got chance to do today was a wash and dry, been raining ever since
