Title: Detailed my Ride Joesgti
Post by: joesgti on May 13, 2009, 08:21:53 pm
Well i finished work, went to the gym and started on my car when i got home 7.00.

Started with a quick rinse and then a very thorough wash with megs nxt wash, then a quick clay, then dryed with my new sonus drying towl, (i recomend them to anybody as it was AWESOME) Then gave her a full going over with megs swirl-x, then autoglym SRP, 

Got my new splitter on and a new stickerif anybody can recognise it?  :smiley:

Please let me know your thoughts  :smiley:
