Clean Vee and some seafront photos

[Iridium]

Went to my mate Chris' today to clean to Vee. Firstly, got the old pressure washer out and got the thick crap off, and blasted the arches. Then washed with Megs Gold Class shampoo, Autoglym Clean Wheels on the wheels, dried, clayed with Megs Smooth Surface clay kit (never clayed a car before, but it was quite easy - a LOT of crap came off the boot but the rest was in really good condition actually), waxed with Megs Gold Class wax, body and wheels. Then used Autoglym Bumper Care on the black plastic bits and tyres, Autoglym metal polish on the backbox and some window cleaner on the glass and lights. Got a serious shine on at the end, then stopped on the seafront on the way home for some pictures Comments welcome - full set available here in proper sizes -

Cheers all

Re: the quality, they're reduced for putting online because the images straight off the cam are massive hehe! Fuji S5600 on auto mode - I was gonna play with the settings, but it was bloody freezing hehe And I've just noticed the quality was on normal, not fine heh - d'oh. Nevermind, they're ok just for casual snaps I was quite impressed with the lights going through the photos pics as well.

That's the K-Tec same as yours btw Ali - just with the grills removed. Autoglym metal polish resin to thank for that shine.

I'm liking the Mk.1s more and more. Could it be said that the appear more 'pure' than the Mk.2s?

Dan

yeh, i'm getting mine taken off and polished professionally, it's in a state!

But also i'm cutting out the bumper bits in the middle! Gulp no going bak now!

 

[Iridium]

Going for the cut then? *gulp*

Still, hopefully it should look awesome! Have you tried turning the grills over? I hear that exposes the shiny a LOT more on a Mk2? Although if it's cut really carefully, it would probably be possible to have it 'put back' anyway surely?

Dan

yep! Thats the plan... Didn't realise the state my bumper was in tho! The heat from the pipes is actually changed the colour of the mid section!

[Iridium]

Haha nice - I gots one of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PIONEER-TS-WX22A-SEALED-AMPLIFIED-SUBWOOFER-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ150154622493 - amazing amount of bass consider how puny it is heh!

Blue/Gaz - thanks

Dan

 

[Ali]

Dan that go under your seat no bother?

 

[Iridium]

Aye - under the passenger seat 'cos the standard CD changer is under mine still (too much hassle to remove it heh ). The only problem is you can't really move the seat all the way forward - but seen as though people don't need to get in the back this doesn't exactly matter heh

Dan

 

[Tyssen]

Very nice - I come to Scarborough a lot so will have to keep an eye out

Dan

kk! The brain for my pioneer HU is under the passenger seat so changer is gone! Will have to go under the drivers! No need for a noddin dog...That'll be me!

 

[Iridium]

I feared it under my seat in case I played the brown noise somehow.

Laura - Thanks Give me a flash/wave (or flash your lights) if you see me

Dan

 

[leeds_182]
