Project clio - detail part 1

[Jungle_Jim]

As all the body work has now been done on my clio i have started to give it a full on detail as it hasnt been cleaned properly in ages.

First thing i did this morning was to pull out the rear lights and work my way around the boot as it had dirt in all the gaps.

after that i PC'd the top part of my bumper which i hadnt done yesterday with the lights being in the way.

i am using meguiars 84 cutting compoung, followed by sonus sfx-2, then zymol polish followed by p28 wax.

after doing the bumper i then proceeded to do the same on the boot.

the reflections from it afterward were ace, the rear of the car was looking nice and shiney, not bad seeing as i painted the bumper myself.

after that i worked round the car onto the driverside rear quarter. there were some heavy scratches and impurities in the paint. but i soon got them out.

Dont you have a double garage Jim? Good job so far

still got the double garage mate, but the clio is wider than the saxo and there is loads of crap in there like a sofa, i cleared enough space to get the car in there but there wasnt enough space to work round the car :(

[RedB]

Attention to detail or what ;)

Good start mate.
Bumper is perfec and the match looks spot on!

Must be happy with the finish so far man? :y:

Very impressed with the job you have done on the back bumper... I wouldn't have the bottle to spray a whole bumper to be honest.

Looking forward to the rest of the progress :y:
