Grant Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 It's easily done, I've always enjoyed cleaning my cars but since getting this I've become obsessed and I've spent a small fortune on product.I can quite believe it mate. It's such an amazing colour. Just a half dozen or so little scrapes and scratches (to be expected for the age) that I think I could get out with a little guidance and advice.

Grant Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think I've only cleaned a car myself four or five times, ever :-O what. Mad man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 :-O what. Mad man.I don't bode well crouching and kneeling. Spans ages doing wheels first, then I'd be knackered before starting on the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah should be simple enough, my bonnet was absolutely peppered, I'm just hoping when I machine it (this week hopefully) it doesn't lift it out. I don't bode well crouching and kneeling. Spans ages doing wheels first, then I'd be knackered before starting on the body Thing is with the right products you can do a decent job much quicker, I spray the wheels with Bilberry and get my power washer setup while that goes off, then use the wheel and detail brushes on them, rinse and then snow foam the car, while that dwells I fill up my buckets then rinse, wash, rinse again and dry with a large towel, QD and job done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah bonnet is reasonably bad, plus a couple of scratches here and there. Not too deep, can't catch your nail on it. We'll chat at length I'm still yet to buy all the products I want, will leave it for fest now. Hopefully pick up a bargain. So does your car stay dirty?? Rondo you employ someone else!?! Lol. Last update for this weekend, my new look rear end. Satin black badges and dechromed One more addition still to be made, should be before fest.

I don't even have a pressure washer, just an outdoor tap, some hose pipe and a nozzle, does the job for rinsing I suppose! Will have to invest in some decent products though! Initial outlay probably be the worst of it though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a Karcher washer from an outlet store for about £45-50. http://www.karcheroutlet.co.uk/products/subcat.asp?mID=Pressure-Washers&sID=K1-and-K2-Pressure-Washers I think mine is the one up from this but £41 you can't go wrong. Alternatively you must've seen the demon foam ads on Discovery, worth a try maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even £50 is reasonable for their stuff! A detailer I know says that demon foam is no good? No idea myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
