Cleaning the big cat - Saxperience

Some of you may recall I bought an old man comedy mobile.

Paint wasnt the best, and the interior was manky but deceivingly so.

Got tore into the car with a DAS6, Menzerna pads and Meguiars/Menzerna compounds. Still a few minor swirls and stuff but its MASSIVELY improved. Engine bay got a clean, using an assortment of brushes and AG engine cleaner.

Some pics to speaketh the thousand words.

Guess which panel had been cleaned

shite looking v8

Attacking the bonnet

Hooray for clean stuff!

Absolutely love these cars!

They're the unloved ones, but IMO are so much cooler than the mondeo x-types!

Bet it sounds nice too.

Jason, it sounds alright on the go, but the old man exhausts are quite quiet.

Nice 106 in the reflection.

Surprised at the amount of dirty on the interior, that came up a treat what did you use on it mate ? I didn't see any mention of the product used on it.

For those who asked, the leather was treated/cleaned with Gliptone Liquid Leather.

I have always liked these for some reason.

Bet it goes alright as well.
