Had some time with the kids asleep and management doing some gardening so managed to get some car stuff done a week into ownership;
New wipers
New air filter
Replaced side repeaters for smoked
Cleaned out washer jets
Re seated headlight bulbs ( was wondering why the beam was no where and discovered both bulbs fitted upside down by previous numpty)

replaced sport badge
Cleaned car
Replaced some missing under bonnet trim poppers (holes just annoy me)


Stood back drank tea and admired

 

edit - couple of pics

looking good mate

 

i meant to wash and t-cut the car but took kid to zoo instead...

 

looks like someone has already been to the zoo in the monkey enclosure by the looks of the paintwork

Lol - I had that day today. Swimming morning then adventure park afternoon. Tried a sneaky light lense polish first thing but denied. ;) all good though. Plans for bank hol?

Hi Wayne,

 

What kit did you use?  Autoglym / Meguirs??  Or maybe bubblebath ;)

 

Regards,

Dave

I always use autoglym, seems to always do the job.

Me too, normally AG shampoo, either Aquawax (if I'm pressed for time) but normally AG super resin polish followed by AG Extra Gloss Protection.

 

This year I'm going to focus on Collinite wax and a polisher (hopefully get a deeper shine quicker)

 

Twice a year I use Claying Bar to get rid of tar and deposits which normal cleaning often doesn't lift.

This weekend, I will mostly be trying to fix the so far not working mirror adjusters. I'll open another thread on that though :-)

With weather as it is all the salt on the roads means you have to wash every week to try and keep them clean.

Weather forecast is good for Saturday think ill clean the car and posts some pics.

Mine needs a good clean, the amount of crud on the car (salt/mud/spray/etc) it looks a bit pitiful at the mo
