Sweeet! Crazy machine with crazy gloss matey. What routine did you use pal?

 

 

Thanks for the comment Neil!

 

It is a lovely car, which makes an awesome sound.... and guzzles fuel like you wouldnt believe!

I've been out in it 3 times this week..... and each trip involves a visit to the shell garage for V-power.

 

Do you recall that episode of Top Gear where the guys laughed at Jezza's teapot action repeatedly filling up the Ford GT?

Well - it's kind of like that with the Merc AMG!!!  I've renamed Graeme - to Jezza. He may also have the same issue with rear tyres too  :giggle:  ;)  :thumbup:

      Mrs V6TDI doesn't understand how a 'quick' wash can take two hours     Still scrubbing up okay after three and a half years.   Gaz

    Awesome job

    Very well done

    I once had a drive in one way back on the early 70's I think it was

    Amazing car and great job. A friend of mine had a blue one a few years ago.

    Really nice work mate. Lovely cars - bring back memories galore!

     

    I had a friend at primary school whose Dad ran one of these.

     

    It was always good fun when his Dad was helping out on the school run.... :thumbup:

    Cheers guys, it's tricky keeping it clean when it's used every day of the year and it gets some abuse too

    Sounds good too :D

    The vRS was looking in a sorry state. Braved the weather and got it cleaned. Looking beautiful again! Inside & out done! 8bd9e75fe2e299255c1ff297f93ef757.jpg1507ed4c9021ce152f021939363f51e1.jpg

    Nice work Carl

    That looks very nice Karl, I bet it is easier to keep clean compared to the white one you did for your Dad.

    Thankyou! I'm hoping with the protection on the white one & some of the products I have to hand, it shouldn't be a problem but white can be a challenge sometimes!

    I can 100% guarantee you'll love it. As Marc Leddy said, be sure to give it the full cure time of 10 minutes per panel. It's quite oily so can smear.

    I left it the full 10 and it came off a breeze! No problems what's so ever!

    I'd be interested to see the photos of the depth and gloss on the R36 once finished! ;)

    Thanks for the info on the cure time etc mate.

     

    I'll see what the temperatures are like come Friday.... forecast for now looks ok.

     

    The .:R36 is long overdue some TLC....  :thumbup:
