Only joking .. of course you can oogle..!

No before shots .. but it was pretty naff .. lots of flies, tree fall out, and some awful marks from when it was in rehab on the bonnet, and the bumper.

Had a few mins to kill, so got the sponges, fairy liquid and t-cut out.

That's the full FIA cage .. it's a bit of a struggle, but getting in one with only the roll bar is a sod as it is ! :eek:

7 hours cleaning? Christ... Glad my cleaning takes 45 minutes and I'm happy...

It won't get much more than a 5 minute snowfoam / rinse / bucket of suds every few weeks for the next few months now tho :approve: Time (probably:dead:?) saved in the long run haha

Does snow foaming get rid of flies?

Looks good, mines on a similar path atm, aka black with more black.

It loosens up most of the crappy stuff on there, especially if there's a good layer of wax and co. underneath the dirt... It makes the suds stage a lot easier, and it's just the most fun part of cleaning the car !

I would have topped the clearkote with a good couple layers of wax mate.

The ClearKote is wax .. and after a whole day, I had had enough of polishing / rubbing the bas-terding bodywork (and I am almost out of the stuff) to do another layer or three ! haha :eek:
