I like the anthracite badges and bullets with the RB lettering, they look spot on.

It wasn't me that f**ked them up it was the brake pads and a tyre fitter :rasp: good to see it's gone to a good home

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice.

 

[b1lly]

thanks for the comments

took a couple of photos of the beading, so thought i'd share...........had put a coat of AG aqua wax and then i bought some PB natty's paste wax so thought i'd try it out

 

[M8XY G]

Looks good mate, i like the colour coordination

 

[Timmay]

p**n - 'nuff said!

 

[b1lly]

little update on the rb, bought myself a kestrel DAS-6 ( thanks i4detailing for your fantastic service ) but haven't quite worked out how to get rid of the swirls yet :dapprove: so just ended up polishing the car with it with some AG SRP followed by some PB natty's paste wax again

I resprayed the wheels in rover stone grey a while ago too

rear wheel looks darker here, they are the same colour

and some reflection shots of bonnet and roof

gonna try to tackle the swirls with the rotary again when i get back from hols next week :approve:

 

[Jordi17]

Very clean!

 

[saltyhair81]

RBis not usually a colour for me but the subtle touches are spot on - I like it a lot.

 

[Greeny.]

I love rb's so much, quality!

 

[dom_182]

Looks mint, wish mine was as clean as that at the moment!!

 

[Neal 182]

I wont it back :dapprove:

 

[b1lly]

I wont it back :dapprove:

lol thought you didnt like the painted bits..................i'll do a swap with you






















for your brother's car :rasp:

 

[Farrowv6]

Would clay get swirls out??

 

[The Boosh!]

Nice one mate! Looks brilliant!... Just a little observation..

RB182's on a whole ARE the best looked after RS clio out of all the colours.
FACT.

 

[The Boosh!]

Would clay get swirls out??

No mate

Machine polisher/abrasive polish

 

[Farrowv6]

Ok thanks mate
what does clay do then ??

 

[The Boosh!]

Clay removes all the surface stuff and just leaves bare uncontaminated paint (in theory)

If you get an aggressive clay it will take off all of the wax/polish/tar spots/tree sap. It also brings the paint up a treat as it removes all the above surface contaminants!
