Finally got round to cleaning her...



  172 Cup
It's been left from at least before Christmas.

A 45 minute drive to work everyday and a 600 mile road trip to Scotland had left her in a bad way.

I done this all last night with the help of the storage room lights and a portable lamp.

She was in a bit of a state before:

Weeks of carbon brake dust is a b**ch to get off:

Missus decided the packet of sweets no longer needed to be kept in the packet

And the drink from KFC services had been in there that long the acid (or whatever) had started to eat through the cup, thus causing

First off was the inside which was vac'd and cleaned, just to get it looking nice again. DASH FOAM TIME... it's like snow, but smells so much nicer

The car was briefly washed so I could get down to the hard part

Wheels are a nightmare, I done them twice with the wonder wheels and still couldn't get it all off.

Washed the car, no pics of that its just me with a microfibre mitt and some water.

Then moved on to polishing and some colour magic wax.

The wife was getting rather annoyed now at why it was 10pm and I was still at work, apparently I was "with another woman"... douche.

Finished polishing and waxing and even re greased the bump strips, I am in dire need of a new back bumper. It's scratched to f**k.

All done and clean, what do you think?

Wheels didn't come out that bad, this is dirt / dust from just a mornings drive

I had to buy a new "CUP 172" badge for my door pillar but only used the "2" so stuck the "CUP" on the back like my old one.

Now it's clean I think i've actually fallen back in love with it again.

Cheers for looking.

Nice and clean now fella

Was a disgrace before!
Cheers man, hopefully see your's at FCS ;)
Much nicer now :D

You're a bit brave spraying that foam s**t all over the dash and buttons ! lol
I would have put it on a cloth.
Car looks good !

Lol yeah I did think about that afterwards but it's all good... for the time being.

Nice mate!

Cheers bud

Just haven't had the time mate, was pointless doing it before driving to Scotland and then we've had the snow and been currently fitting a kitchen.

So the missus spent a night on her own and I done what I wanted to do lol

Cheers for the comments

Just because we slept in the same room does not constitute to a male on male sexual relationship. :rasp:

Haha i forgot about that

Tupps and Cal's drunken missions round the hotel - woke up in your room with no idea how i got there, then followes the pictures of me covered in cups, lampshades and foam!

FCS ftw

Very nice turnaround.

Get in much trouble for the plate?

Surprisingly no *touchwood*

Had the French one on the back for a while to, even had police cars pull infront and drive past and behind me. Nothing.

Police in the Midlands must just not care as much. Karl (the guy i bought the car off) had the french plate on for about a week and got fined lol
 
Christ I would kill my bird if she did anything like that in my cup!! Shes slammed my Saxo door into a grass bank once! Didnt speek to her for a week! Aha! Nice car!

Putting a lovely dent in your door is a bit of a difference to just letting the sweets loose lol

Easily cleaned up in time.

I just binned them all, I think she wanted them. Sucks to be her.

Cheers for the comment.
