Hi Guys and Gals!

Gave the Rallye a much needed and deserved bath today! I'm not really into the whole detailing scene as such, hence, why this is my first thread in this section :P



The wonders of working in a steelworks means that in absolutely no time at all, your car will look a little something like this! And no matter how many coats of wax you apply it won't last five minutes after a bit of blow off from the blast furnace lands on it :(

The worrying thing is the rain had washed a lot of the shit off already! :fcuk:

So this is what I was met with first thing this morning... (I can already sense the worry and panic coming from some people.....:p)

So with my dad cleaning his beemer and me attempting to clean mine, we got to work!

I had a new set of decals to fit and some new wind deflectors so these went on to tart it up a bit! :afro:

Some before pics of the decals and how it stands now! Hope you like :y:

It's had a good coat of HD wax. Will leave the decals settle a bit, give it another decent wash next weekend and give it a couple more coats.

No sealant mate. Haven't got any, can't afford any at the moment and like I said, me and washing cars don't really go! Lol!

HA, thanks mate.

Yerh I know I should clean her more often. Guilty as! Just brakes my heart that every time I get her looking like this, come monday when I get to work she's fecking stinking again! :n:

Can't wait to get a second car as a work horse. Will also mean I can start with my plans for the rallye :cool:
