  • Blue Phantom got some TLC

    So, weather held off and a began my first proper attempt at cleaning.
    Sorry there's not many "before" pics, but I only thought about taking photos near the end :-/

    Tire Before:


    Tire After:


    From the sides:






    No swirls:


    Beading:


    I'm happy with the outcome


    Took me about 3 hours

    Tomorrow, it's interior and decals.

          I used Power Maxed Car Cleaning Bundle + Monsoon Carnauba Car Wax. Buckets of warm water, pressure washer, Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt, and a Chemical Guys - Wooly Mammoth Drying Towel + a few microfiber cloths

          After giving it a good clean, I noticed I've got a chip in my windscreen. Damn

              As I was cleaning my car in the hotel car park, I had a few people who were walking past mention about how shiny it was looking.
              Very impressed with the Tyre Dressing

              Made the time spent even more worthwhile. I can see how people end up spending quite a bit of time cleaning their rides.

              And thanks, I found them through here

                My boss always comments on mine and how shiny it is - she did however say "Euan, your Mini is looking shiny today"... I've never been so insulted in my life (Second time she's called it a mini too)

                  I think that's grounds for an employment tribunal mate.
