5 hours of cleaning yesterday

by wuffy » Thu Jul 31, 2014 3:57 pm

5 hours of cleaning yesterday and im happy with the results, I love how the rain water just beads off the paintwork after a good polish and wax 8) also gave the interior a good going over aswell.

I saw the pics of that Tickford calibra on here, never seen one in the flesh though! mine still needs a good clean under the bonnet, still full of oil and muck, going to try and get round to cleaning it before Wentworth. :)

Thanks Mark, the pictures make the paintwork look a lot better than it actually is, ive got quite a few chips and scratches on it, and a few bits of bubbling paint in the usual areas like the bottom of both doors, bottom of both rear arches, and the join on the cill. Im thinking about getting both sides re-sprayed just upto the bump strips to tidy it up a bit.
