Went round to RCoughtrie's at 10am and got started on the car - well ryan did

He started off by giving it a good snow foaming

Then WE got to work, all wheels were removed and cleaned, inside the arches pressure washed, engine bay washed and then sprayed with tyre spray (i think?) and we gave the car a good going over with the following products then afterwards we headed out and took a few pictures......

Here's all the products that were used:

Meguiars NXT Generation Shampoo
MEGUIARS Bug and Tar Remover Gold Class
MEGUIARS NXT Speed Detailer
Auto Glym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
Dodo Juice Rainforest Wax
TurtleWax Black in a Flash
Meguiars Hot Shine Tyre Spray
Autosol Chrome Clean Shine
Belgom Chromes - Chrome Polish

Also ryan kindly painted my drums with some black hammerite, note no masking all proffesionally cut in













































And ryan also kindly cleaned my exhaust as it was black

Got finished at about 3.30 pm

Big thanks to you mate, a would still be at it if it wasnt for your help (even though you done most of it) cany believe how good it looks and cheers for getting my plastics looking decent also cheers for letting me use your stuff will repay the favour

Have you tried to straighten the exhaust? Looks a bit funny imo.

Very nice mate

Cant help but think it needs to go lower on the back end and the mesh needs to be gone on the front lower grill

Otherwise its looking spot on
