Paint work looks great

just one more thing to do - blacken the grill by the windscreen wipers. Makes it look much bettter. Did mine with a toothbrush and some auto glym rubber revitiliser. Takes a while though.

Hi,

How many sponges and plasters do you go through cleaning the wheels?

Love'em though and if they did them with a deep dish would have got a set.

Have you got any pics of the car before you got it looking like this, my paint is getting pretty dull, even after i've washed and waxed it.

Nearly bought a clay bar from halfords the other day..... but i was like " it cant really be that good "

I soooooo want my paint to look like that. :thumleft:

Nice airbrushing on the front bumper... although if it was me i would of chose a naked lady.... not some crazy looking thug 8-[ :lol:

Not too sure on the front bumper, still looks like its missing something to me. A carbon fibre splitter in the middle could look awesome!

Apart from that, car looks dead shiny, fella! Top work!

Looking very bling Mr boxer 8)

Don't forget its best to use detailing spray with the clay bar, and to wash it again after claying before polishng sealing, and then waxing :whistle: :tongue: O:)

Cheers gents!!

You're right mate, a carbon fibre splitter would look excellent but it would be far too low!! :(

Cheers Leeroy, like the look of yours too mate!! :thumleft: Keeping the paint looking like this is damn hard work but when you get results like these its worth it!!! :twisted: :thumleft:

Its so much easier though once you've done it the first time. Just keep topping up the wax every so often and that's it! Eventually when tar and pollution etc builds up you can polish seal and wax, or redo the whole thing depending how bad it is :whistle:
