Washed the car "the old way" last night, AB foam, rinse then wash in wax wash with mitt, rinse then driven to dryish then chamois dried. Pulled it out of garage this morning and thought I would document the reflection.




looking good son 

It will possibly shock a few when they discover the wash in wax is

[ROH ECHT]

They are looking dire but I might try give them a scrub up and wack em down the final 5-or-so mm in the morn 

Wondering if a good coating of plasti-dip when installed originally might have protected a bit more for ya???

They clearly needed something!

Everything on my 7 year old car is shiny and new looking (my missus thinks I love the car more than her!)... apart from the nearly new suspension!

 

Yeah...mine too...I don't know why ;p  I would think the yellow on dampers and blue on the springs would still look good(much like a Bilstein & H&R set-up) plus provide a flexible enough corrosive resistant coating - http://www.amazon.com/Plasti-Dip-Ounce-Yellow-Aerosol/dp/B003B3KKMQ

I agree completely ok ok I might look into some plasti-dip surely easier to find on Google than a stockist of AH exclusives in sunny Blighty.

Yeah starting to get a little  myself now, was not as excited about the swap as I normally would have been yesterday as after 5 years with the '30 we're like old friends and I'll be genuinely sad to see it go..
Time for a change though and now in need of a more family friendly 5 door so hoping the '35 will live up to its older sisters charms for the next 5 years

Well after 8 years and 3 cars my love affair with red has come to an end... Carbon grey this time around
