Post by: Chris.Air on 03 March 2013, 14:28: The GTD was well over due a clean.

Before it all began!

The rest are after it has been polished and hard waxed.

Post by: Snooze on 03 March 2013, 17:47: Second that! My car could do with cleaning once a week with the roads as they are at the mo. Needless to say I've not managed to clean it even half as much. Could really do with someone to do it for me!

Post by: Snoopy on 04 March 2013, 20:52: All I kept thinking looking at the photos was you need to paint the garage walls and floor to keep the concrete dust down.
:laugh: sorry I'm spending too much time on the garagejournal and detailingworld forums. :embarrassed:

I've got vinyl on my garage floor. Not fitted properly, it's just the old stuff I took out of our kitchen. It does a great job of keeping the dust down, but is also nicer to kneel on.

Lol snoop its my Bros garage I will let him know. Tho I have very minimal and I mean very so the concrete dust ain't affecting the cleaning;-)

Post by: ajmoir36 on 06 March 2013, 19:48: I have to admit I installed a tarpalin above the car to cover the new GTD, I think concrete dust was the cause of scracthes on the old mk5s windscreen.

You could be right considering what I'm planning for a new detached garage and have spent already on cabinets for the attached garage.

I just know how bad mine is with the unsealed floor and block walls, so i'm planning to paint the walls (may also slat board them) and tile the floor in the summer.
