Used Meguiars ultimate liquid wax. Being a bit a a novice when it comes to detailing I thought I'd start with something reasonably cheap. I will be looking to invest in something a bit more on the expensive side soon.

Yeah definitely

Cheers dude. I've got a viper induction kit on order and going for a KTR Janspeed supersport exhaust soon. That's all after I get the belts done and a service up a Fred's in a couple of weeks. I would like to get some coil overs but that's going to have to wait until later this year.

Any plans for yours mate?

Looking good Ron Still the best colour imo, even though some people on her think its the least desirable! Mine really needs a clean+polish like that!

p.s, i want your splitter!

 

[PaulClioSport]

Looks like a minter! Good 'detail' as well!

Cheers Paul. First time I've really ever done a 'proper' job. Used a machine polisher for the first time too, albeit a very cheap one but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I've had a little listen to a couple on YouTube. I know it's not ideal but it does give you some idea of what they sound like. I was considering the Scorpion RS192 but someone on here was saying they really didn't like it and that it sounded like a wet fart! lol.

And yes you are right it's all about the money and what with trying to save money to move to a bigger house the wife is not at all sympathetic to my need to spend cash on the motor lol

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Cooksports fitted earlier this week (massive thanks to Ant (Scrooge) for fitting them!)

And freshly painted alloy with new tyre fitted today following the 'kerb' incident.

 

[Tim.]

Looking lovely on the new springs! Good work 'aldinho

 

[Tommo.]

Sits perfectly on the Cooksports!

​Nice car

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Cheers guys. Going for breakfast at North Weald aerodrome this morning so will get some better pics to post up.

 

[Bobby.]

I like the way you keep it very clean and oem.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I try mate. I'm lucky that I don't really have to drive it during the week anymore so I can keep it reasonably clean.

 

[scotty10]

Looks really smart that

 

[The Fatty]

Ron do you run a decat? Or do you have to run standard because of you line of work?

Ive got a Ktr/janspeed exhaust. I think with a decat they give a nice sound without being too loud and Chav.

Here's a nice vid too...

I actually ended up getting one of the new BTM exhausts. I run a cat but its more for comfort than anything else.

It still sounds really nice with a cat tbh.

Managed to get a couple of hours to myself this afternoon so decided to try out the new snow foam lance I bought a few weeks back.

TBM wash and finished off with some HD wax.

I was really impressed with the snow foam (auto finesse avalanche) and I really love the results I get with HD wax.

Dried using the old faithful Asda drying towels.

Put on a layer of HD wax and the used the sealant I got a while ago from waxybox.

Autosol metal polish.

[Tomh182]

Very clean that mate! Exhausts look good!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I've been off all this week so yesterday while the wife was out with the baby I set about giving the 182 a good clean.

I had hydro2'd it a few weeks back so I just snow foamed, 2 bucket wash and finished it off with some reload (a sample kindly sent to me by @gally , thanks again mate)

Plastics given a quick going over with Auto finesse revive and tyres finished with Megs endurance (not found anything better than this stuff so far)

And the exhaust tips were given a polish with autosol metal polish.

When I woke up this morning there a few specs on the roof and bonnet so I got out the Prima slick to get them off.
