Steve has turned me into a g33k.



  172, Tiguan
What else is there to do on a Saturday afternoon whilst its zero degrees than wash a car and fall about laughing at one of Steve's neighbours with a bad case of torrets. Tom, he's after you! ;)

So, taking instruction from Steve, so began a 3hr bodge job of a detail.

Washed the car with Fairy liquid and some fancy stuff that smelt nice. Apparently you don't use sponges anymore!?! Madness. Car having done Cadwell 2 weeks ago was fairly dirty.

Then Benson and Rem arrived and helped out.

Good work Tom.

After washing I did the wheels with some vile smelling stuff that smelt of acid. Used a furry brush to agitate and then rinsed off! Discovered later i'd missed loads, so did them again with the mit thing.

Three of us then clayed the car. Now I thought the car was already clean, but I was quite shocked as the clay stuff turned black instantly. Steve looked shocked.

Benson didn't know what he was doing and was now scared as the guy with torrets was shouting out the window calling him a cnut.

After the claying had finished out came the machine and Steve put some even nicer smelling stuff on it!

Nice hair! ;)

That got buffed off! Then it got waxed, it got dark and we went down the pub.

I then spent literally an hour with some more fancy carbonara wax yesterday doing another coat!

Should look clean for a good week before the trees drop more sh!t on it!

Thanks to Steve again for his help. Oh and cheers Tom.

Top job matey...

Don't take this the wrong way but thats really smart for a Primera..

lol, yer don't worry mate, it's all a bit of an ongoing joke - i've even started looking for Datsun badges. Rather an expensive joke now mind.

Joking aside though I'm actually shocked at how well it came up. If I can workout where I've left my decent camera i'd get some proper photos of it.

You could learn by watching what i do, then ignoring it and doing the opposite lol

msa???? Municipal scaffolding association???
 
Car is looking good jon, I prefer the new Sunstrip (much nicer than gaffa tape).

Good choice of shampoo and buffing pad there Steve. ;)

Did you like the plug Matt? I thought you would.

Jon was very impressed with the Tropicare range. He wants to bathe in the shampoo. Used the claybar too, well impressed by the amount of sh1te it lifted out of the paint.


Get some stickers done for the Datsun.
