FCS List

[Lee-182]

Anybody get a big list that needs doing before FCS?

Heres mine:

Hover, Although its pretty clean.
Wash. And layer loads of wax.
Take wheels off and clean inside, and wax after.
Clean and seal arch's.
Get my stripes done.
Need to spray the bottom of the front bumper, because of a stone chip.

Need to find a jack.

 

[Rich]

Would take me all day to write my list. A few of the major areas.

Finish machine polishing the lower half of the car.
Apply the Zymol Destiny.
Dress Arches.
Polish, Seal and Wax the Wheels.
Interior.
Exhaust.
Wax the Glass!

 

[Gareth]

what do you wax the glass with Rich? what about plastics?

Mine is pretty sorted, just needs the arches and wheels doing really.

 

[Rich]

Zymol Titanium Gareth.

Plastics been deep cleaned with Einszett Plastic Cleaner, will dress them on the day - AG Bumper Care on the textured stuff, Einszett Vinyl and Rubber on the Smooth.

 

[Gareth]

where from Rich? £? Do you clean/polish before, if so with what? Cheers.

 

[Rich]

What product you looking to buy? For the glass?

Glass is Cleaned with Zymol HD cleanse and then all but the front screen waxed with the Titanium. Got mine of Ebay when it was being sold cheap.

I am half way through giving the car its yearly polish ready. Have used Menzerna Final Finish on it, stepping up to Final Polish and Intensive Polish as needed. Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and then going to be waxed with the Destiny.

 

[Gareth]

yeah, I need to get a good wax application on the glass to keep them clear. So Zymol HD cleanse then Zymol Titanium?

is it regular wax? or a glass specific? looks regular

 

[Rich]

Just a Regular Wax - using it as it is fairly durable and I was not impressed by how it looks on the paint so need to use it for something!

Was using Megs 16 before which works well.

 

[Gareth]

ah I've got a big tub of Megs 16 in the garage, so I just need the HD cleanse, cheers Rich. What about wheel arches Rich? what do you clean them with? I take it you need to cover/remove the wheels?

 

[tommyboy]

I've got a feeling Rich is going to wash his car away one day :S

 

[Rich]

Yeah should do nicely.

Cleaned them with Megs APC, will treat the plastic liners with AG Bumper care (beads the water nicely) then will spray a load of AG Vinyl and Rubber under there ! when I do the tyres on the day at the show.
