Cleaned/Polished my Dads Astra MK3 today.

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

Here the results looks good for an 11 year old MK3 Astra only done 56k, especially as the MK3's are known to rust like Fcuk. Not a bit of rust on this apart from a tiny bit on the nearside back arch which is getting done profesionally soon, its only a wee small bit

old philosopher once said " you cannot polish a turd" Not a bad job considering.

You can say that again, its a 1.7dti 0.60 takes about 18secs apparantly, I could do it quicker on a push bike than that, then agian it does the job for work

Hence the detail on the GSi for me today! Was going to go along with my friend but need a lye in - cant be doing another early start on a Sunday after last weekend and the fcs.


As for the rust you need to grind it back or cut it out so its all gone, rubbing down and treating it never works - needs to be removed totally or it will return!
