Ricardo's LY200T

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Rich wanted this sealed up ready for the winter.

Snow foamed and jetted off

2 bucket method using this

Dried and then decon'd with IronX

Rinsed, washed again, jetted of and dried.

Then de-tarred with TarX

There's was absolute loads of tiny tar spots

Thoroughly rinsed and washed a third time and rinsed.

Wheels given a blast with Megs wheel brightener, washed with wheel woolie and a mitt.

Then it was sealed with Hydro2 lite

Dried and tyres treated to some Megs endurance

Oooh very nice. Do you like the wolfs shampoo btw?

Yeah it's great. I only tend to use it on my own car or good friends like Rich :wink:

 

[Ricardos]

A big thank you to Ron for doing his bit, really impressed with the work and the finish.

 

[James]

Absolutely gorgeous mate. Great work RDR

 

[ADS_V6]

Great finish and should help repel the salt and grime over xmas :up:

 

[Knuckles]

Cracking job.

But you're mad for cleaning cars in this weather!

 

[James Mk1]

Looks fantastic bud! This all without any polishing/waxing/claying? If so is very impressive. How long did the whole process take? You are mad for doing it in this weather but i've just ordered a Nilfisk C120 over Black Friday weekend along with some AF Avalanche and a bunch of other products and am keen to try them out, so I might be joining you in the madness of cleaning in icy conditions!

The paint on Rich's is pretty spot on. It certainly doesn't need any correction.

If it hadn't been so cold I may have considered a glaze but I'm not sure it would have added much to the end finish.

No wax but I used hydro2 lite sealant instead.

I do enjoy waxing but that's strictly for the warmer months when I don't mind being outside.

This took me about 3 hours.

Looks immense! LY really is one of the best colours ever.

 

[scratcher]

That's a great finish. Love the colour.
Did you use anything to protect the wheels?

I saw some pictures over on Turbo Renault and was impressed

We don't live the wrong side of the wall, bearded wonder.

It's warm round 'ere.

 

[leeds2592]

That looks great, still need to get myself some Hydro.

Cheers mate.

Only used hydro2 on the wheels simply due to lack of time.

I've said to Rich that once the weather warms up a bit we will spend some time putting a glaze on and at the same time I'll probably put some Dlux on the wheels. He's going to be getting them refurbished at some point as we'll I think.

I just buy the 5000ml bottle of Lite now. It's £65 and lasts bloody ages.

 

[leeds2592]

I'm absolutely brassic at the minute, so will just end up going for the smaller bottle I think and get the 5000ml in the new year.

Correct, the wheels are going to be refurbed after Christmas. The front tyres are being changed for the correct Dunlop Maxx RTs this Thursday, it's gonna bug me not having any product on them like the rears but hey ho! Cooksport springs next too.

 

[Iain C]

Thats a fine looking 200t. Im not even a fan of ly either!

 

[Mr Plums]

That looks brilliant, great car and great job

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Looks great does that! Gotta love LY.

Thanks for all the kind comments, I'm really pleased with it. I feel lucky to have it, I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to be in the new RS especially with the colour and the spec.

Knockout. Really, really nice results.
