Clio mini detail - 15 pics

[Gadget man]

Hi All.

Been ages since I've posted on here, but thought I'd put some clean pics up The pictures don't do it justice, other than hiding the swirl marks :rofl:

Just had a wash using 2BM and Chemical Guys Wash & Gloss, and dried with a microfibre drying towel. Went round with Quick Detailer afterwards to get a few missed bits in the washing process. It had a hand polish with AutoGlym SRP before Christmas '08, and has been topped up monthly with Collinite 476.

And one interior pic:

Comments welcome

Did you colour code it yourself as it looks really good

 

[alex-avfc]

SRP always brings up a nice finish! Good stuff mate

 

[Gadget man]

Thanks Kerry. No, I had a bodyshop do the colour coding for me. I've not got the patience to do it myself!

 

[The Boosh!]

Looking good! But wtf is that gear knob@?

It's an automatic gear box, but with the ability to use it manually. I use it manually all the time now. Forward on the stick to change up, back to change down

They're Bosch Aerotwin wipers. Work really well, so much so I use them half as much as my original ones. I got my set off Ebay. And yes, they're a straight forward clip on fitting.

Very clean, tyres dressed well too.

Thanks

Thanks Alex I use Meguiars Hot tyre Shine. I spray it on to an old paint brush, and that works well for applying it.

Very clean! Fancy doing mine?

Lol! People keep asking me to do their's when they pass me doing mine in the street!

Christ thats clean!! Looks bloody lovely!

Clio quickshift?! Christ, I reckon in the 7 years I did at Renault, I sold 1 of them.

(my apologies if you need it on medical grounds...)

 

[Gadget man]

Thanks Daniel

Yes, I got it due to a spasm in my left foot, but preferred it to the standard autos as you can use it in a semi-auto mode. I love it, and use it manually all the time now

As it is I've been having lessons in a manual, and can manage a clutch now, so roll on getting a 172/182 this year :approve:

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah thought as much mate.

Roll on the 17/82 then!

 

[Fagan]

How do you rate the 476?

Heard it's a c**t to apply/remove?

 

[Gadget man]

I've had no problems with 476, in application, or removal. Just have to make sure you don't leave it on too long in the hot sun though, as it can be a pain to remove then! I usually leave it for about a minute when it's in the sun. Main reason for buying it was for the beading, it's fantastic

 

[JD]

best colour by far, love it in the sun, remember how mine use to look back in the day!!

also remember being able to see my arches lol

jamie

 

[Gadget man]

Indeed it is, but then I'm biased

lol, that's the only problem, being able to see the arches, but they're due to be cleaned soon, so it won't look so bad once they're done!

 

[Tigger]

That's a very cleeeeen wee motor

 

[Gadget man]

Thanks Tigger
