Bourkey Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Cheers bud . My car actually feels like glass right now.Was a really good day for taking pictures. You missed out as you can see. Look in the meets section for the rest of the pictures too. They turned out awesome. Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 let me sus out the claying thingy majic and it will feel even better!!...dont worry it will lead to better shoots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 I was so close to getting one of them kits the other day. I want to see how yours looks first as i can't see how mine can now be improved. Seriously the paintwork is so clean after a day of three step waxing/polishing & buffing.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The thing is tho mine has swirl marks all over literally every body panel...so me thinks wash, clay, polish but it could do with a detailer coming to sort it all out n then me just maintaining it after that.

Bourkey Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Mine used to look like yours bud. Seriously. I used plenty of t cut to get it right. Then just repeat the three step polish & wax a few times to get it super shiney. You could use the clay to get it mirror finish. No point paying a detailer when a days hard work yourself could get it looking sparkly .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 @ Asda - Stop being a girl. Me and Craig did mine the other day in the cold so you can as well ;). After a few times you will easily see the results bud. I had a Micra and when i got it, it was pinky red. After a couple of weeks it was a lush red ;).@ Driver - Yeah Buddy Club P1's. They do look nice but mine aren't as swish as they look. They could do with the lip re-polishing to get them looking their best again.Thanks for the good comments guys ;).Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Im thinking of investing in the megs 3 step clean system n the clay....i already have the carbuna wax. its expensive so i may get it 1 at a time or something?however i have heard good things about autoglym super resin polish.. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I used T-Cut for step 1. It's really the same thing but cheaper. The other difference is it is a pain to get off. All the hard work pays off though ;). And i actually made sure i didn't leave any wax on as well to make sure it looked swish. As you can see from the pictures there isn't a drop ;).Next thing im doing i reckon is spraying the cooler pipes black at the front. I may pick up so matt black spray on the way home.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 OH MY GOD!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im getting the paint on the way home tonight ;).Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Take the whole pipe schenanigans off, paint it leave it to dry n put it on carefully!....do the blue hose as well (although not sure how it will come out).Get craig to help you out and then take both for a late night photo session ;)on second thoughts just put some newpaper behind it all tape it up n knock yourself out...much easier and then leave it running to dry.

Galliano Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 dont spray them, they look good with fangs ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mart Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Looking awesome bro. Man I love your parking spot. Right behind big black closed doors. Secure and Prvate... Sweet....... ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Sorry the fangs are going. Im not spraying the silicone hosing but i am spraying the shiney pipes at the front. Just want it more of a sleeper. The cooler is staying the same as im undecided on it at the moment. And yes Mart. The more secure the better ;). Im going to get ten massive dogs and a thousand cameras pointing at it as well ;).Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 It does look pretty smart actually. Reminds me of when it was n/a ;). You have to use special paint on the core though but i may do it. Not sure yet.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
