Black Renault Clio Sport 197
Hi guys! Had this car about a month and with TRAX coming up I wanted her looking pretty for that, so today spent a fair few hours on the car!!
What I Did:
Took Number plates off
Rinse wheels and cleaned with Bilberry at 10:1
Rinsed Car
Door/Boot Shuts, Badges, number plate recess's cleaned with AS G101 Washed using 2BM and DoDo Supernatural shampoo
Clayed with CYC clay and DoDo Born Slippy
Rinsed and Dried
Taped up
Then Megs Speed Glaze 80 on a Megs Finishing Pad.
Car again Washed with same meathod
Dried
A coat of FK100P
Doesn't seem a lot but started at 10:15am and finished at 6pm!! Was my first time using a rotary on a car, was told to start with the least amount of cut polish I had which was the Megs *80. There are a few very light swirls left if I'm totally honest. Would of had another go round if i had the time, but overall happy with my result for my first go!

Taped up. Took me ages haha

I usally clean them with G101 but forgot to. Might give them another go over today, as the inside's are still a bit dirty, that Bilberry at 10:1 would not get off!
I would take them off if I had somewhere flat to jack the car up. And give them a good ol' clean and seal

Tell them to get a life mate, Most people on DW always try and find something to criticise, they all want to be hero's like that vxr Marc and his 1 billion layers of his Extra special super duper deluxe only one of its kind wax on his Astra.
I bet if they had their way they would send Mr T round to shout abuse at everyone that missed the tiniest spec of dirt on their wheels.
This guy got lucky,
As you can see the wheels were pretty clean this time around, learn from your mistakes young one, lol.

that looks mean and clean, good move on not putting tyre shine (looks shiny until all sorts of crap start sticking on it).
