My Attempt At Detailing


Recommended Posts

Well i'm not massively into this detailing lark, normally the car gets a top price Jet wash but thats about it.

So today i did a bit myself. The missus got me an Autoglym set for Christmas and i've since got myself a Mitt, some Poorboys clay and lube.

So to start with i Washed it with the Autoglym Car shampoo, using two buckets and the mitt.

Then i let it dry off and cracked on with the claying, never done it before but cracked on, lubing then claying as i went. Managed to drop a piece so that went straight in the bin and carried on.

Did all that then applied the Autoglym polish with a little polishing pad, then i've got a little random polisher my Grandad gave me so i went over the car with car to buff it all up. Then went round with a cloth to check it.

Polished the glass with Autoglym stuff and cleaned the wheels by hand after that.

Not a huge list of things and realise i should wax and seal after that, but dont have any yet so i'll sort myself some out for next time.

Anyway a few pictures:

looks good stav mate.

must say though, the 2nd to last pic does look more purple if u know what i mean. its probably just the sun hitting the metallic flake.

do u have that warm glow of satisfaction after doing it? (apart from when it rained.....)

Looking great mate. I know i should get round to doing mine, but it' s finding the time!

Looks very purple in a couple of pics. I still can't decide if I like your wheels. I know a woman with an RX8 and really dislike the bitch, I think that's swaying my opinion of them!
