Made a start on the drivers side of the car today as that had been largely untouched.
First up the rear window out, much muck, conifer residue removed again, no change there from the passenger side.
Had the same rusty staining on the paint where the rear door card mounting clips were
The only time where t-cut has been beneficial, nothing else would touch it.
Then took everything off the drivers door to be cleaned up. Cleaned out the inside of the door aswel
There is a bugger of a dent in the front of the door which I'll look to get repaired properly. I could happily seek to replace the door but the doors open/close and hang perfectly which seems to be a rarity without some lengthy messing about with so I'd rather keep the original doors that work well.
The wing and kit piece are entirely unmarked and original so it looks like something had fell against the door to cause the dent rather than any failure of the check strap etc.
And that's taken me all day again.

Shame about the door. You might get away with it with a dent guy.. as you'll know. If its creased/cracked the paint :/ swap with Lea?

Underside has had some more attention today, toothbrush and Autosmart Tardis with an abundance of baby wipes always works wonders
Floor plan cleaning commenced

Matt....you spend far too much time cleaning these cars haha. I just wouldn't have the patience to do it! What you clean the arches with out of curiosity?

Cheers lads :-) it's coming along nicely.
And yep all you need to do the arches is an old toothbrush, Autosmart Tardis is an amazing product, then baby wipes to remove the muck.
Only other thing I use is a bit of quick detailer and a cloth to wipe off the last bits of residue.

I can't imagine cleaning anything but my teeth with a toothbrush, and even that makes me impatient... This has now gone beyond my comprehension so I'll check in in a few months to see if it's finished!

good stuff for the arches etc to save on masses of baby wipes..start with a stiff hand brush and some soapy water to get most of the mud and shite off, then move onto the tardis or other products

^ just make sure the brush isn't too stiff to avoid damaging the paint in the arches.
However, if the car is movable... I'd pressure wash the arches after applying various potions to soften the muck and then start with the more laborious side of the clean!
It's nay a bad idea to seal the paint with a decent sealant too, muck will be easier to shift next clean and keep them easier to maintain.

Had a bash at the drivers side rear bumper mounting point this morning, I was well aware that this area needed some surgery, always annoying when the other side is perfectly fine. Could be worse and should be relatively east to fix, but still not pretty to look at for a 'before' pic :-(
