DBP Edition30 mini detail (Update 04/04/09)
« on: January 18, 2009, 09:30:01 pm »
Well after a drive on what can only be described as a ''rally stage'' (thanks Mr PG  :wink:) on Friday I thought I'd give the old girl a bit of special treatment as I can honestly say she's never been quite that dirty.  :sad:

So here's what I've been up to over the last day and a half:

Wheels: AG custom wheel cleaner, EZ detail brush followed by a MF wash mit. 2 x coats of Collinite 845 then 1 x coat of Poorboys wheel sealent.

Bodywork: Jet wash including inner wheel arches, left to soak then two bucket method with Meguire's lambswool wash mit (one for upper half and one for lower half) with Jeffs shampoo. MF drying towel, then 2 x coats of Collinite 845

Exhaust: Autosol Metal cleaner with cotton cloth, then buff and polish with MF

Glass: Interior + exterior AG Fast Glass

Interior: AG Leather cleaner + Gliptone Liquid Leather, full vacuum.

Before's:












Afters: (around 6 1/2 hours in total)










Im rather pleased with the results, let me know what you think  :happy2:

It's about 25-30 I'd say. Wouldn't want to go anymore as Im a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning the arches out! I haven't found a single drawback with them as yet. The ride is probably a tad bit harder but nothing more than you'd expect and certainly not what I'd call uncomfortable. Go for it  :happy2:

On Luca's car I think it would look the dogs as he has black wheels and door mirror's. Get it wrapped Steve, then you could always take it off?
