[Luke]

Sounds good mate.

I didn't bother covering electrics up when i rinsed the engine, it was perfectly fine.

I look very forward to seeing the pictures.

[James]

What about the battery.. surley thats a risk...., iv'e also got load's of connections that are slightlly loose so i guess that may be a problem. Better safe than sorry? :P

[Mitchell]

how long did it take u to do all that?

[Luke]

Yeah, better safe than sorry mate. I didn't have my sub connected at the time when my engine got cleaned, so you best do it. I know mine was fine though :P but remember you car stops at 100. Haha.

[hesslevtr]

[James]

Yeah, better safe than sorry mate. I didn't have my sub connected at the time when my engine got cleaned, so you best do it. I know mine was fine though :P but remember you car stops at 100. Haha.

No i worked that problem out today.. it was me granny shifting :P

[James]

how long did it take u to do all that?

About 4 hour's but i was doing it pretty fast.. If weather holds out probally spend another 4 - 6 hours on it tommorow... I need to get a proper job.

[Luke]

Granny Shifting?

Puff. :P

[mattwesty]

good lad cloud, it should look well at trax then, hopefully the weather will hold up!

[James]

good lad cloud, it should look well at trax then, hopefully the weather will hold up!

I plan on keeping it in the garage until trax.. lol.. As i was cleaning iv'e noticed so many imperfections in the paint work like stone chips and small dints.. It's really annoyed me actually i dident realise there was so many. As soon as trax is over im going to find a new bodyshop and have them all sorted. So at trax you guys are going to have to pretend the stone chips dont excist :P

[mattwesty]

we will ;) i just hope the bumpers stay on! lol

[James]

lol... well the front wont be coming off without a bodybuilder jumping on it..

It's sheding in order from front to rear so next is the skirts or wing mirrors i think :P

[Dan]

No pics of it mate?

[James]

Tommorow buddy.. I said that in post :fcuk: haha

[Dan]

So you did..... Its late lol

[kcsaxo]

[James]

The wet look wax actually looks better in the shade in my opinion lol... It looks really dark and super wet

[James]

[James]

Thanks man, The green looks great when it's actually clean... awful when it's drity.

I added another 2 coats of poorboy's wheel sealent to my alloy's today, god i love that stuff... It brings out the colour in the alloy really well.

[Barry123]

[James]

I do want to de-wiper it, not to sure about colour coding the lock though.. i'd have to do that myself and im dangerous with spray cans.

[hesslevtr]

your just fucking dangerous .

[Yates]

your just fucking dangerous .

i was going to add that

[mattwesty]

hahaha!

[Dan]

Looks good matey!

[carln]

Very nice, is the blackfire polish alot better than the megs?

[James]

Allot better... Use some megs and then use some blackfire to compare it... its shockingly better... My car feels so smooth as well like glass.

[James]

http://www.downtown-mafia.com/cloud/clean/blitz/4.jpg

That was with the 3 step megs... but then again blackfire is only good on dark coloured cars i guess because it makes it look really deep and wet.. no idea what it would look like on gold so dont go by judgement.

[carln]

i have just sent a pm to polishedbliss to find out which will be best to use on my car, as i dont rate the megs polish at all, as it does not give it a really deep shine.

[saxo_on_19s]

gold never looks that clean mine never used to merguirs polish works great on mine

[James]

gold never looks that clean mine never used to merguirs polish works great on mine

Thats a lie dude :P... Some kid near me has a gold saxo (fully standard) and hes constantlly cleaning it.. that looks superb. It depends how much time your willing to put into it.

[carln]

I spend hours clenaing my car, i think i spend 4 hours a week clenaing it and i started the trax prep work last week. :)
