well from 9am yesterday i been busy on the car,
first thing was to paint the calipers and drums black, look mint, im so glad i have done them black. look so much better then the gold,
took a fir while to de-grease them and sand them down so they were ready, but they look quality now 
while i was waiting for the paint to dry i took the wheel to one side and cleaned them all one by one,
full clean, dry, polish and then tyre gel 
they look real good also,
im now sat here typing as i need to wait for 30 mins or so as i have just cleaned my engine, im really impressed with how much better it looks after its second time ever of having a clean. I have just applied some treatment for the rubber and plastics to make them look like new so just need that to dry off before some buffing 
After thats done i need to give the body a full wash and polish, if i have time ill give it a gold coat polish also 
Removed me number plates etc too so i hope theres not to much dirt left on the car,
All i need to do now is keep it clean for show season
