LY Finally had a clean



  LY 182
Hey guys. So the weekend before the one just gone I finally got round to giving the LY a clean. Had been a good few months and was definitely looking sorry for itself.

So managed to get round to my mates and use his snowfoam to get rid of loads of the dirt. Then gave it the 2bm wash, followed by some Swissvax pre wax oil and some Dodo banana armour. Not a huge detail, just wanted to give it a bit more gloss and a little extra protection before a proper detail when the weather picks up.

Mate did his ST at the same time, we then popped down to the Megs place in Daventry for some snaps. We both took some, the light wasn't great and neither of us are that handy. All I've done in photoshop is the sharpen option just to make em a bit more crisp.

As you can see, the Yozza is hanging low as fu*k. And there's a few marks on the paintwork. Since my last snaps all I've done is new plates, with the front being a shorter plate. Hope ya like!

Looks lovely but to me the LY looks a bit flat. Could just be me but other LY's I've seen seem to pop a lot more.

Car looks tidy though so I'm guessing it's the photos.

Agreed. Proper dull weather that day and 0 degrees lol. LY looks 2 different colours when it's dull and when there's good light.

I have the mk3 Clio.
I keep seeing Clio's like yours on here and I as much as I don't want to sell my first car. I feel that I'm starting to prefer your shape.
Having two years no claims in a few months will determine whether I get one or not. Hopefully insurance doesn't sting me!
Btw, your car is gleaming mate. Love your car!

i agree, looks more like Sunflower yellow but could just be the photos

Yeah it's because there was poor light. I find with poor light it's very hard to capture the colour on camera. It always looks a lot better in person. I'm sure any other LY owner would agree that the colour can vary a lot in different condition.

Cheers. I assume you have a non sport Mk3? I love the Mk3 shape actually, as well as the Mk2 lol.

Thanks everybody else for the kind words!

I do have some plans for it, but right now funds are s**t so could be a few months off.

car looks good fella. but i have said this before, why do cs always forget underneath the skirts and sills? the mind boggles. would you clean all your car but the bonnet? no. especially with a yellow car it stands out more. have a look tomorrow and youll see exactly what im talking about.

Ahhh. 182 would definitely be a nice upgrade then mate! As long as your not being bent over by the insurance.

Yeah I know. I was looking at Suzuki Swift Sports, and Corsa D 1.6 turbo SRI's..
But tbf I'm thinking that I may as well spend the little more in insurance for a lovely car!

How'd you find the snow foam mate, using mine for the first time at the weekend, will attempt to clear two months worth of dirt - lol.

Great mate. I must of had almost 3 months or so on there... It was only a cheapish Karcher one my mates got too but most of the dirt was gone which meant I was more than happy / at ease with then giving it a nice 2 bucket wash.
