RB 182 Cup mini detail

[200 Alex]

Decided after work today I would give the 182 a quick wash and polish! Thought I would share some photos with you guys

This is only a very quick once over, in fact, there is no detail about it

Anyway so here are some before pics, it wasnt massively filthy, but did need a clean:

Gave her literally a rinse with the pressure washer. Results:

After that, the wheels needed some attention. So I used AG wheel cleaner and a brush. Here is the wheel cleaner at work:

Then for the fun part, snowfoam

Once I had been over her with a sponge, took her out into the sunlight while still wet (pardon the pun).

Then into the valet bay at work to blade her off, and dry.

Unfortunately, our **** of a valeter had taken all the microfibre clothes home with him, so I made a ginger trip back home to use my own stuf, some photos of her dry before I departed:

Sorry if the pics are over exposed, still getting to grips with my camera!

When I got home, Decided to simply use AG Super Resin Polish and some glass polish. The sun was setting and it was getting overcast so no real time for wax But soon enough I will post a thread giving her the full treatment, interior and everything!

Here are the afters:

Oh yeah I metal polished the zausts too

Sorry if the pics are too big, hope you like!

Looks like your airfilter needs a good clean and re-oil, you could probably use a coolant change aswell, looks brown and minging!

 

[200 Alex]

I'm taking the filter off for a standard air box in the next week or so the coolant does look a bit Ming. I'll have a look at it in the light tomorrow

 

[200 Alex]

And thanks for the comments by the way fellas

Good stuff, the car itself looks mint, done many miles?

 

[200 Alex]

It's done 65000 now I bought it with 53000.

The RB 182 was the first Clio 172/182 I really noticed on the road, years before I considered buying one, what a brilliant colour. This looks really good.

*shivers*

Still not 100% on the white wheels but lovely other than that mate. Oh get a proper sheep skin wash mitt.

 

[200 Alex]

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated

Yeah I'm thinking about doing them gloss black now. But I need to get some funds together obviously. And the wash mitt is on the list

 

[Adamm.]

Silver or cup anthracite looks best imo.

good lad lol .

 

[Joe#]

That looks superb.

Anthracite wheels look better imo though

 

[andywa]

Looks spot on.

 

[200 Alex]

Cheers guys

Saw one with black wheels and bullets and fell in love with it. Looks gorgeous and very different.

blimey if you think that was dirty you should see the BG! lol

car looks good mate

 

[200 Alex]

Haha, has it turned brown all of a sudden? And thanks

 

[danh90]

It's been brown for about 3 week not worth cleaning as it rains every other day and turns brown again lol
