Shoduchi:
Really nice to know that your car is running sweet. We'll be waiting to see the dyno graph and more pictures of it. :drinking:

So she was looking a bit sad and felt tough since its been weeks since the last wash, drove down to Bournemouth and back yesterday to drop some wheels off to a fellow member and experienced nearly every type of weather on the way so was in desperate need.
Dirty pic at the gym (not what you might be thinking)
And this was before 200 miles driving yesterday.
Started with the wheels and some degreaser on tyres/ arches/ bottom and underneath bits. Also degreased the engine bay. Then a good layer of foam followed by a wash.
Dried it and took it inside. Blow dry with machine, Carpro reload over the paint, Gtechniq C2V3 and T1 on wheels and tyres, Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol on glass. Came up pretty well.
Went over the bay with Aerospace 303 protectant
Sexy engine mount
Gave the interior a going over as well
Ruby approves :signLOL:
Overall she scrubs up well for her age. Now just can't wait to get it mapped
Shoduchi:
Great pictures! It looks awesome inside out. :congrats:

I was thinking about cleaning up my engine bay soon as it's getting naaaasty. Did you use a pressure washer on it to remove the degreaser?
Ps car is looking good man :happy2:

Yeah its better with a pressure washer as its more of a mist and it evaporates quicker than a hose/ etc...
I make sure the engine is fully hot then spray degreaser on and give it a brush followed by a rinse. Just try to aim it to the sides and don't go to close or into connectors etc....
Then leave it for a bit and start it, otherwise just do it with the engine running.
