Title: Here She goes!!
Post by: GTIStevie on August 13, 2010, 06:21:58 pm: Well spent all day today cleaning the car and getting it looking like I want it to.

Started this morning and finished about 5ish.

Washed, de-tar, clayed, washed and dried, Polished using Merenza final finish via DA, then rinsed agin to remove dust and dried, polished by hand with Dodo Juice lime prime then finally Blackfire wet diamond. Tyres dressed with Megs Tyre gel and windows cleaned up.

also fittied Ipod connector whilst waiting for sealant to cure.

Here are the pics. Not the best quality as i forgot the camera so these were done with the iphone but you get the idea.

Post by: rdfcpete on August 14, 2010, 06:41:46 pm: One of the nicest Tornado Reds I've seen Steve - very nice subtle mods and the rear bumper/diffuser looks excellent.

Good wash effort too :happy2:
