Kermit the 200.

[Jay.]

Hello chaps and ladies.

Following on from the dirty 200 thread I decided mine needed a little bit of attention. Especially looking like this after the car only being 2 months old. I have got a GTechniq winter pack kit thing on order, but I will save that for next time.

Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Enjoy -

Started off looking a tiny bit muddy. Don’t think I helped it’s cause by trying to take some pictures in the middle of a country park. Ah well, they looked good lol.

Gave it a quick rinse with the Karcher-

Once complete, I made a start on the wheels. Apart form the mud, they were pretty clean. Used some diluted Bilberry and some random brushes -

Next up, I started to wash it. I used a wash mitt and Dodo Born to be Mild. Not sure if I’m using the correct amount or something, cause it doesn't bubble up very well?

Again, rinsed off with the Karcher, then water sheeted with open end hose pipe-

I then began drying it with a big blue i4detailing towel. No pictures of this, as well, I forgot.

Stopped for a bite to eat lol

After that, I applied tyre gloss to the tyres. I've got the GTechniq on order atm, so they were left as I haven't got any other sealant -

The car was waxed only a few week ago with Dodo Blue Velvet, so I just topped it up with some Dodo Red Mist -

Finally I gave the windows a clean with Ag Glass Polish-

Shaaattttttttiiiiinnnnng! -

And finally, im sorry, get the sick buckets ready maybe?

Looks great, still not keen on the front, but that's one of the first ones I've not looked at one and thought 'eww'.

 

[silentsnake]

Much better

P.s, I am now massively craving some Steak McCoys.

 

[Gally]

Was just reading this ion DW, looks great mate!

 

[Matt W]

Perfect!

 

[Ben]

Gorgeous mate, and above some McCoys would be f**king awesome right about now haha.

Sorry to see the graffiti on your car buddy...

Only joking, the black actually looks OK with the green.

 

[tom172cup]

very nice Jay, how you gettin on with it

 

[Jay.]

Thanks for all the comments :approve:

Agree about the black front JD. I did look at buying the car in black, but my old car was black, and was a ball ache to keep clean and looking good. Plus, AG is amazing in the flesh. Its hard to capture it in a photo, but I try. lol

Tom, yea its going great. Just ticked over 1500 miles, so I suppose things are still bedding in, but yea, I love it.

 

[JD]

I have considered one of these and AG or SG would probably be my choice. I don't want a daily driver that's black as it would annoy me daily. I need something sleek in black when I'm older that only comes out at night. Clean as fook black under street lamps (with no swirls) looks spot on.

 

[Gally]

Never again will I own a black car!

 

[Jay.]

Yea, I agree lol

My old clio always looked dirty. And the fact that the washers leaked and always made a stain. That really pissed me off.

Alien green. speedlines, recaros. Hero spec car mate. Very jealous

 

[jenic]

Awesome

Love AG so much now

 

[ForceIndia]

Good work. Such a shame Renault didn't go all out, this green would of looked fantastic with the black details

 

[RS200Lew]

Love the car mate!!! Taking a liking to the green now. I wanted a liquid yellow one at first but then an albi 197 came onto the forecourt and made me change at the last minute.

 

[RS200Lew]

Awesome

Love AG so much now
