Easter Pre Show Season Detail (56K warning)

[Rich]

Cheers

Applied by hand with a Cleakote Microfiber Applicator.

Have found with sealants they soak into the very soft finishing pad meaning you end up wasting lots of product. It does allow you to get a very thin coat though if you do so.

I bet you spent a few man hours doing it. I thought it was chrome at first glance! All credit to you matey, I bet you would be in pieces if it rained !!! It's in good nick for a A reg (LOL only joking!! ) You can clean my cooker anytime

Got to be the cleanest Clio on the planet Top darts mate!!!

 

[Rich]

Took a little while!

Was handily parked to back straight into the garage if the heavan's pened as they did on Friday.

As for cookers not my forte I will stick to cars

 

[Justin]

God thats clean!

 

[fUbAr]

[Rich]

Silver comes up really nice by PC, what products are they going to use on yours?

Your names at the top of the list

 

[fUbAr]

Ive no idea mate, Ady's doing it for me... he's just spent loads on Megs and Poorboys stuff i think

Its getting the full works.

what works best, i'll see if he's got it.

 

[Guy]

what areas do you mask up?

 

[Day]

That aint that shiny

 

[Rich]

Masking - Depending on the products being used to be honest Guy.

If it is unplastic friendly all black or clear plastics, and rubbers.

Main ones to be carefull of are the rear bumper insert, mirror surrounds and backing plate, washer jets (lights and screen). Normally do window rubbers, aerial base, headlamps and tail lamps, pop the rear plate light out and remove.

 

[Rich]

That aint that shiny

Proper chrome!

 

[fUbAr]

Could do with the wheels coming off to be honest, only car I have owned that I have not removed to clean under there yet!

 

[Turkish]

Black bits piss me off, i was seriously tempted to take off my mirrors, bumper grills, foglamp covers etc and just mask up what was left last time i PC'd the car. I hate masking things up it bores the s**t out of me.

 

[Rich]

It would make life easier, get Butter round ... rumour says he loves going crazy with some tape.

 

[Turkish]

He hates it as much as me, he got me to do it when we hit it with the rotary a few weeks back, lol.

 

[Rich]

So now he hates interiors and masking!

 

[Leeshez]

wow that is stunning

 

[DennisV6]

Loony you dont wanna come round and mask all my plastic up for me???

This PC malarky aint as quick as peeps initially think.

Then again im new to it and taking my time.

Dennis

 

[Rich]

Takes some time to do it properly and actually remove swirls that's for sure.

 

[DennisV6]

Mines certainly got its fair share of swirls, Ask Brazo and Loony.

Brazo gave me a good couple of hours tuiton with the PC was great to be taught by an expert.

Took me like an hour to do half my bonnet tho.:dapprove:

They do say all good things come to those who wait, its just gonna take time I suppose.

Dennis

Haha, dream on I'm helpful but not that helpful.

You'll get it sussed in the end fella, sure the tutoring from Brazo will have answered alot of the questions you had

Couple of panels each wash if you cant face the whole lot in one go, must say the shape of the panels on the Vee makes it more of a pain in the ass than my car.

 

[kpowell911]

what do you use for the initial wash? Andalso what do you use to dry the car?

 

[Rich]

Wash - As I was doing lots of Polishing, cheapo halfords own, normally Sonax Gloss Shampoo.

Dry with A large Pakshak Waffle Weave Drying Towel http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9170

 

[kpowell911]

linky dont work

So its ok to dry your car with a towel? I was always told only use a chamois or a blade for drying/

 

[Rich]

Microfiber Waffle Weave drying towels are much safer/better than both the above, both can cause damage as they allow stuff to get traped between them.
