Clean Car Shocker!

Following on from this thread I made earlier about the f**king weather!

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=408916

This is the first wash since about December!

Here are my results so far. If you dont read the other thread products used are/were

Snow Foamed washed off
Wash with Autoglym Shampoo dried etc
SRP buffed off
EGP left on for 30-40 mins though as I couldn't trust the weather!
DJ Blue Velvet (to come tomorrow!)

Anyway a few pics after the EGP which is the first time I have used it since buying it about 6 months ago! Im pleased so far and the DJ should bring it up even nicer.

Spoiler needs to be resprayed as I did it myself and am not happy with the finish...live and learn though!

Really like these few it looks Shiney

In this one and the one above you might be able to make out a noticeable dent just below the RH washer (as you look at it) on the left Caused by drunken mates jumping on the bonnet. Also got a nice scratch too

Finally the bad points

^^Caused by Parking next to the trolley park in Tesco and the GF not holding the door as she opened it It flew open and hit the railing. I wasn't impressed! Also a few chips from where it has been opened onto a wall I think. Needless to say I park no where near the trolley park now!

^^ Scratch in the rear Driver Quarter panel. Hoping when I get my polisher I can get that out with it??


Overall pretty impressed so far with how its come up.. and how good the SRP/EGP combo works. You should of seen it before! Left to do is the wheels and interior parts tomorrow. As well as applying the Dodo Juice.

I need to invest in some Tar remover too as got some tar bits to get off. Also want to get some APC so I can do the arches but as it will no doubt get dirty in less than a week Im not that fussed yet!

Apologies for the mount of photo's! And il update tomorrow after the wax has been applied

That's a lovely looking motor shame about the scratches etc. though

What suspension is yours on mate? I've just fitted my sportlines and it has totally transformed the handling... and gives it a slightly more agressive stance.

 

[guysy]

If your fingernail catches the scratch when your run over it then its probably too deep to polish out.

Looks good, Shame about the dents from drunken mates, I'd be fuming.

Ive got a few dings i need to get removed for summer.

Try and get a touch up kit from Renault for your car, Build up a few layers of colour in that scratch if its down to the primer, Then wet flat and polish back up. Iv'e done a few on mine.

Eibach's -40mm I think Db

 

[Curley]

Looks great, little scratches and dings dont half do your head in.

Any pics with the i4detailing tyre gloss on?

 

[Jordi17]

hi mate looks good, you say your going to wax tomorrow? Will it not have dust etc on by then though from overnight.

Wash it tbh

Wash it tbh

wash it again?

 

[Curley]

wash it again?

Personally, i would.

If its not rained or been drove you could get away with quick detailer.

 

[Gem]

Considering thats not had a wash in months its come up well with one wash, nice one Richy

Boys getting the Detailing Bug

Boys getting the Detailing Bug

Missed that above. Na I havent done the wheels yet. Was going to do them first but was sooo excited last night to try the snow foam out I forgot! In fact I have cleaned the wheels now but havent glossed them.

oh ok, i thought that would take some of the polish off, going over it with hot soapy water.

TYRE GEL- you've made your car look lovely and you have dirty, grey tyres

C+ for effort

Blimey can you not read??! Was doing that today

Anyway Finished, dressed all the tyres, cleaned inside for the 1st time in a year! Cleaned the glass etc. Now my car smells of Bubble gum and I want to lick it (even more than usual!! ). Really impressed with the Dodo Juice stuff. Easy on/easy off etc. Unsure if it has made much difference to the shine though??

Just after waxing

Then my missus wanted hers cleaned so moved mine and finished everything up like tyres/glass. Final Pics below

Also put in my engine cover after using up the rest of the yellow I had. Was white and blue before BTW

Just need to sort out cleaning the engine bay next as its a bit dirty. As well as fitting in the cold air feed..just trying to find some tubing for that.

Anyway enjoy/hate as you will!

Took them off recently but they are back on now... forgot to put them on in the pics

 

[clairemae]

looking good

 

[Ad172UK]

Looks good mate.

The spoiler is rescuable with a bit of G3 by hand i reckon, maybe even poorboys SSR2 would sort it.

 

[Tigger]

Looking top dollar Richy

 

[Alexander]

Really nice.

Monaco is probably my favourite RS colour.

 

[123stevevw]

rubber mallet and a few lights taps should sort the trolley park dent out

 

[Leah]

looking good!

my monaco is getting PC'd this weekend.....and seeing how shiny yours has come up - i cant wait!

 

[richy22]

A bit of whiteness and Carbon is on the way next

 

[Jonny1*2]

looks nice that mate. Get a touch up pen from renault for the door edge. Misses did the same thing to mine. The scratch should buff out if (if you run your nail over it and can feel it it probably wont.). Although saying that, a detailer might be able to work wonders with it.
You need to get a caf on the viper though

Aye need a caf... although it is getting cold air from the front grill funnily enough. Just trying to find a trumpet and pipe
