Title: Edition 30 mini detail.
Post by: Truckie on January 26, 2010, 08:29:00 pm: Hi guys just thought id post a few pics of my day in the garage yesterday! As the title says it was a mini detail, wash, de-tar, clay whole car, rinse again, lime prime, then a coat of dodo juice diamond white. (tested to destruction today through the rain!) :sick:

Products used : billberry wheel cleaner
detail brush for wheels and old wash mitt.
Autosmart : tango, tardis, clay bar, buckets and grit guards
Dodo Juice : born to be mild, supernatural wash mitt, lime prime, born slippy, supernatural drying towel, diamond white hard wax.

Didnt get round to a winter prep so had to make do with irregular washing, tar was quite bad so 1st a quick wash and wipe over with as tardis

After de tarring and a rinse it was on with the clay bar and then the lime prime, great smelling stuff this!

Post by: MAT ED30 on January 26, 2010, 10:09:45 pm: might have to try get a track day done there i think :smiley: whats the track like to drive?
Title: Re: Edition 30 mini detail.
Post by: Truckie on January 26, 2010, 10:41:41 pm: The tracks pretty nice to drive, a short lap 1.3 miles, but quite tight and a little bumpy in places, kerbs are a lot smoother than they used to be....loads of different cambers and blind corners, if you go on you tube and type in edition 30 knockhill i believe one of the vids is my car with the previous owner at the wheel :confused: :fighting: wish i didnt know it was mine lol. He does not a bad job to be fair, i would never take my car out though aside from driving the track most days it doesnt hold much appeal to knacker my own brakes and tyres!
