gave her a clean

[k9saxo]

gave my girlie a clean yesterday but by the time i had finished it was too dark for piccies so took some today instead she has had rinse, wash, rinse, hand dry (w/microfibre towel), fake t-cut (lol i was broke when i bought it but actually done a really good job), paste wax cant remember what brand and threw the tub away, auto glym resin polish, auto glym deep gloss protect, back to black, window foam clean.

Before:


After:


(please excuse my seat covers)

My 'rinse' bucket:


Eeeek! just noticed some sneaky wax that needs wiping!

dunno how long it took me in total and still got to do the interior and give the engine a spruce but it is now pissing it down all over my hard work, must say though that the water is being repelled nicely!

(sorry if the pics are huge/tiny)

EDIT: those things that look like maggots on pic 3 aren't - they are bits of those silly auto glym perfect polishing cloths that moult worse than my dog!

You need some products to get your bump sripes nice and shiney again, get some back to black on them. That rinse bucket is sick... clean more often ... Looks nice and clean though now dude, good job.

+ Get some mirror caps

[k9saxo]

yeah i have got some back2black but it was too dark yesterday and peeing it down today. please note my rinse water is not usually that dirty but i gave the arches a good scrub i wash my car bout once a week but it does do a lot of driving down country roads and once a week i have to park her in a field!!


would LOVE mirror caps on my list of to dos

Mirror caps are surprsingly hard to get hold of, but anyway very nice n clean!

I really need to get me some more cleaning stuff. I mailed Polishedbliss and told them what condition bits of my car are in, and I got a mail back the next day saying what I need so Im going to get it, problem is as its good stuff its topping the 100 pound mark, and i need to pay to fit my lowering kit, im going to America soon, and it looks like im going to get fired tommorow lol.


Anyways enough of the hijack. What is the fake t cut if ya dont mind me askin?

[k9saxo]

cant remember it is something like super cut or something comes in a tube (about a quid i think) and you rub a little bit on them really have to buff it out i had quite a few scratches from the dogs on the bit under my rear bumper (my dogs scrabble lol) one application got them out although a normal polish may have done this anyway also bought a nice sparkle to my metalic paint

hope this helps
