After neglecting it over the colder winter months i decide it was time to clean the Saxo!

Shampooed, clayed, scratch x, turtle wax, Simoniz glass cleaner, Interior cleaner/freshener(mmm, vanilla), black in a flash.

Before:

Like that, but dirtier with added dust from Matchams as well.

Done the badges whilst cleaning, used some metal polish to remove the silver.

Still lots of tar but I'll gradually work on it, too much to do it all in one go!:homme:

It's looking good :y:

I thought i had LOADS of tar down the side of my car... but it was infact overspray from a cheap budget tyre shine spray... i spent hours faffing around with claybar trying to get it off... it took some of it off.. but hardly made any difference... i then got some autoglymn tar remover... soaked it, and it all basically wiped off!


Keep up the good work!

More than likely a bit of polish that i missed, didn't notice it till you mentioned it!

Anthony: I've been thinking about wheels, here's a Photoshop i done:

I do like that pic of the 1.1 badge.


Looking nice for a clean. I gave mine first clean in hot weather the other day, dries so fast, black car looks a bit pants without a polish so im hoping to give it a full going over soon, now its all nice and sunny.

cleaning my white VTR is a ball ache, after about 2 days it's back full of crap again, even with mud flaps! its worth it though to see it shining in the sun :D
