Why haven't recaros got harness holes in them?

Good work BTW.
Because it was bought as a road car, harnesses would never be going in it, and I think they look better.:rasp:


Gay thread, s**t cleaning, shed of a car. Fag.

Gosh, Markie. That is a cracking transformation! Beautiful! I only wish I had the skill to do that level of cleaning!

thanks Andy! Yeah its a DAS-6 (altho there is a pro version of it available now.) I wasnt guna use the rotary (SIM180) on this as the paint didnt need it imo.

typical. you show up to defend your purchases. :rolleyes: they do look better tho.

the guy that owned it before me lived in birmingham....i could spend 100 hours on it and it would never be "clean" ;)

Alright mate, that car looks amazing and has inspired me to bite the bullet and order a kit off polished bliss.

Few questions to help out a n00b though, what size area's were you hitting each time ?
Like, how many hit's for the bonnet etc and the doors ?
Did you polish with the power finish on white/orange cutting pads and then refine with final finish on a polishing pad ?

Cheers mate ! i hope i can achieve as great a correction as you have!

ideally i would have liked to do the machine polishing inside, but i just dont have anywhere to do it. due to the sun (and therefore temp of the panels) i split the roof into 8 sections, and bonnet into 6 sections.
the results i got were between 2-4 hits each (using the slow cut method).
yeah, the pads/polishes as you described.

good luck! just practise and be patient.

PM me if that was a serious comment. I cant tell with that cute little smiley

Are we talking about your hair now??

Looks great in all honesty fella, credit to you. So glad it went to a good home, it's a minter.

Looks awesome as always! Did you have a go at your passenger door or are you just going to leave it?

Cheers mate. I was suprised at how much came out on 2 passes!
I tried to take a pic of it now, but you cant see it with a camera (you can just see the deeper parts if the sun catches it right).

You would of been able to see it in this picture pre-detail:

One of the best 172s on the site. I spent last Friday and Saturday afternoon machine polishing mine, long slog aint it!
 
  E87 118d M Sport
I dunno about that Alex. I like to think I look after it, but there are some stunning cars on here!

Yeah its not the easiest job in the world, but well worth the effort in my opinion!!!

Where the hell have I been to miss this thread mate? :eek:

Answer...trying to do mine the same, then give up & drive it lol :eek:
Actually makes me want to pick up the PC again and drop that Silverline rotary TBH
 
  E87 118d M Sport
That rotary gives fantastic result, but theres a knack to using it.
The PC is safe and gives great results. just takes a tad longer.
