Getting ready for Wigan
 
6 Attachment(s)
After seeing Tintin's car pics and with him turning up at Haigh Hall I thought I'd give the 8 a bit of a clean.

This is what 10 hours, a probable divorce and no hands left looks like :D.
I've still got to do the interior but I'll finish that this week.

I've used:
Pressure Washer to start
Dodo Juice Supernatural car Shampoo
Didn't bother with the clay bar.
Megs DA Polisher
Various Sonus Pads
Megs Stage 1 paint cleaner
Amigo Glaze
Poorboys EXP sealant
Poorboys Natty Blue Paste Wax
Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Hard Wax
Megs Endurance on the tyres
AG Wheel Sealer on the Alloys

Ah well - looks like I'm going to have to start cleaning and polishing again..:-(

Looks superb. Looking forward to seeing this on Sunday. Mine is going to have a lick of Autoglym on Saturday (unless it rains, lol).

Thanks guys but I'm a bit disappointed with the finish.

The paint correction didn't go too well and I'm going to have to bite the bullet and have the front resprayed and the wheels refurbed :-( but that'll be next year now.

Neil,

I'll try and make the one at Christmas if it's closer to home. It's hard work trying to get kids in the car for more than an hour and with three now...well you probably know.

Tintin,

All yours will need is a wash and a quick rub over with some quick detailer. Can't wait to see it.

Ken never seen your colour either. The car looks fantastic.

Roll on Sunday :veryhappy:
