Title: DETAILED THE OUTSIDE!!WOW
Post by: joesgti on 17 March 2008, 12:44
As above,

methos i used were
1. spray
2. two bucket method using autoglym car shampoo and conditioner
3. leatherd (using new leather cloth)
4. machine waxed using autoglym super resin wax.
5. took the wax off using super polish cloth  :tongue:

i think the end product far exceeds what i was expecting and its the first time ive used a machine polisher.
the photoswere done on my phone so there not the best, also i dont seem to be able to re-size images in photobucket so there a bit big sorry.  :smiley:

oh and my OSIR gauge pod and defi blue gauge arrived today  :drool: :drool: :drool:

Awesome finish mate, bet that took a while.

I was going to do mine Saturday but it decided to absolutely pi$$ it down for the weekend. As soon as it gets better I'll be trying out my cleaning goodies.
