[Mk2] [Turbo] First proper clean i have given her

Post by Tiny »

Well woke up yesturday saw beautiful sunshine and thought i would give the car a proper clean and me being me got abit carried away :oops:

took me about 4-5 hours but worth it i think. Wheels need a refurb i know.

Thats one application of Autoglym super polish then 2 coats of turtlewax nanotech stuff before one final coat of autoglym super resin wax.
windows were a standard glass and plastic cleaner that i picked up from screwfix and is better than any glass cleaner i have or have used including the autoglym glass polish. If anyone knows of any good polish to use on the plasitc nose as i am still not happy with the finish maybe thats just me being abit of a perfectionsist.

Please let me know what you think and if your near guildford and want your car done like that pm me.

Very nice mate. Not sure about the extra rear reflectors/indicators though. What are they?

they were on the car when i got it and they are apparrently as i was told at the guildford meet today reflectors from a RX7? I like them that and they are glued on so wont be coming off without pulling off the paint i think :roll:

Hi there. Can i just add that applying the super resin polish will remove the TW nanotech stuff. Super resin polish should go on before any protective products as its a cleaner/polish so in effect youve wasted your time using the TW stuff. Just thought id save you the effort in future :thumleft:

Yeah thats a typo.

Thats the Autoglym Wax last not the super resin polish stuff last.
