Spent all weekend Cleaning *PICS*

[lewisniven]

Yes, i did the whole car, BY HAND, with ScratchX!!!

Also 2 layers of SRP (3 on the bonnet) and a layer of EGP, followed by P21s.

Then it rained all over it yesterday

Ah well, here a few pics;
(photobucket appears to be down so apologies if theyre slow, theyre on a crappy server)

Arches.

 

[lewisniven]

yup, the williams has 4 of them...

theyre very good tho, the driver side is bubbling slightly.

 

[TeZ]

true, they have been left dirty? for contrast?

 

[lewisniven]

lol, no, its hammered it down with rain yesterday afternoon, which wouldnt of been so bad, but i had to drive it to work, so half my hard work is up the shoot, they were fine about about 3pm yesterday.

 

[TeZ]

[Ben.]

was worth it tho, the paint looks spectacular.

 

[TeZ]

[Djw John]

[lewisniven]

as said in your Detailing thread, looks the business!

 

[TeZ]

i do love the bonnnet on these williams very mean.

 

[Mikey]

awesome lewis, love it mate, such a minter.

 

[bigmaddaz]

mmmm this thread makes me want to try and tackle my car with scratch x by hand!

eat lots of spinach before hand, and make sure you've got plenty of time, its a serious mission!

 

[Ben.]

mmmm this thread makes me want to try and tackle my car with scratch x by hand!

same here....

 

[TeZ]

i dont , did it once and took all W/E on my black one and still wasnt happy, black boys will need a Machine polish.

 

[Mikey]

someone opened there door into my rear quarter this weekend, could do with the scratch x

 

[_Kenny_]

took me two days to Scratch X my metallic dark red Clio, was knackered after but it looked great!

 

[lewisniven]

admitedly its not perfect, if you look down the bonnet and catch the light just right, you can see scratches, but it was in 10x a worse state before i started so im pleased.

 

[GinandGasoline]

still need to see this car in person... it looked good in the for sale thread pictures i saw, so it can only have got better

 

[Christopher]

p**n

i would love one as tidy as that

 

[lewisniven]

She'll probably be for sale after chrimbo so keep an eye out chris, lol.

thanks for all the comments guys, I really love this car!

 

[a.e]

lookin good.

Andrew

 

[Alan]

Top work matey, well played!!

On another note, i wouldn't bother with anything less than a machine polish for defect removal now...if anyone is thinking of getting a PC they are worth their weight in gold, nothing comes close by hand..

 

[al]

Agreed ^^ :approve:

Good work Lewis

 

[lewisniven]

yeah id agree, cant rival a good session with a PC, but then thats the issue.

Full PC'ing of car: £100
ScratchX: £8.50


um.....watching lewis collapse in a heap after buffing all the scratchX off?

Priceless.

i may yet have it PC'd at some point.

 

[Ali]

ScratchX by hand! Rather you than me mate!

Looks peachy!

 

[clio_luke]

lovely car mate. the wheels look spotless!
mine is in real need of a clean, cant be arsed with all this rain tho

 

[R20 CWH]

superb effort there matey, might want to change your avatar -

:lolup:

 

[DebV6]

Looks great. You must have an awful lot of patience to do the whole car by hand with scratch x!!
