i am turning into a pic ***** i am sure.
anyways, i ended up last week booking this week off for no reason, so with a week free i decided that i would go for the cars first proper clean of the year, i have a visit to wincanton motorsport tomorrow also for the coilover set-up so it is a car week.
well the car started off outside the house, for ease of worrk i wanted it on the drive, but as me and the bumper found out the other day it won't go on the drive, and just to prove it..
before then
after that fun, ended up using planks of wood, i then set about cleaning it, first up was a wash, washed with nxt wash.
once this was done i then set about claying it with megs quick clay (seems alot easier to use than the mothers i was using previous)
i then washed and dried again.
i decided next that i was going to get the wheels off and properly wax, polish and seal them, rears first as that end was easier to jack up.
the wheel treatment included Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection left for an hour each wheel and then 2 coats of Poorboys wheel sealant.
and then the fronts, whilst these were off i decided to try and higher the coilovers aswell before i visit the garage tomorrow
too much?
another piece of work today was to look at my prospeed exhaust, i had a stealth fitted quite a while ago, but for my liking it sat a little too low, too visable, i popped back and spoke to charlie but he said it was ashigh as it could go, so the next best thing i thought was to disguise it as best as possible, with the car being lower the easiest way i felt was to paint the bit you see black, this will reduce reflections and therefor disguise it more underneath the car
before pic only, forgot the after
lol.....seriously though, this is how it currently sits
comments welcome
