should have mentioned stay away from them carwash places with the the power washers i dont know what chemicals they use but i went to one of them about 3 weeks after i done the wax job and when i got it home the car had white streaks all over it had to re wax it again came up great again


Car only cost me €900 to buy thatss about £700

Wash the car first obviously let it dry

used rubbing compound first u can get this in any car shop for £4 a tinn and that will last for ages

the wax is called Mirror Glaze its used in the boat industry mostly the help a new fibre glass boat to realise from the mound it is made in

apply it with a cloth take it off with a towely type cloth and shine it with an old teeshirt no buffer needed at all.

as u can see in the first picture the wheel arches are nearly white

firstly get some white spirit and rub all the plastic parts to get and crap off them

then back to black £4 an tin works perfect

and then a set of hoodcaps £15 in the market.

as for the bit i missed down the bottom of the bumper i knocked that off when reversing away from a high kirb:lol:

and the L plate....... in ireland your aloud drive on your own in the car when iff your on your second provisional:lol: dont ask me why but i wont complain.

like ur avatar chewbaccaman, its my mates car

You missed the bit at the bottom off the front bumper mate !! no seriously what a diffence !! would also add a good few quid to the final selling price doing a car to this condition I suppose ??!!

that must of been done with a buffer.

i would say it's been buffed with a buffer.takes about an hour when you know what your doing.used to have cars like that all the time when i was valating

mine looked like that when i bought it, excpet not as faded and it took me about maybe 10 or 12 hours in total to get it looking like it does now, involved some serious Tcut work, 4 hours on the boot alone i think cos that was the worst area.

Good work mate
