Good effort there mate.

thanks. I know there's a difference here between driven and detailed but I think of my own that's it's both

Looks great! Paint work looks very slick

One point if I may? AG Cleans Wheels will dull the wheels as it is acidic. If possible, grab hold of something a little more finish friendly, such as Bilberry Wheel Cleaner.

Even bilberry is quite strong... Soapy water should do, i use 101, or Wheel brightener if i'm being a lazy can't!!!

 

[JD]

But you have sealed wheels as I do, ya billy!

been using the autoglym clean wheels for a couple of years now, never had any troubles.

don't use it all the time though, would clean it with just rainwater 2
if they are sealed, it's easier

thank you for the good comments

cheers guys for all the great comments. yeah, steeringwheel is a real pain in my arse. trying to get on from someone on the forum who has a spare but no luck yet.

I'm really chuffed (hopefully correctly spelled) with the car. will do more to it but one thing at a time... I'm saving up to buy a house in the future too

kind regards
