Spend the whole day doing this!!

We the car needed a good going over as it was covered in swirl marks so today was the day to sort it out. After 9hours and lots of hard work, im pretty pleased with the outcome. I did get a bit anal on it, but I think it was worth it.

Degreased the lower part of the car to start then snow foamed it. Then a total wash all over with shampoo. Wheels off and totally cleaned, clayed, sealed and waxed (took ages!). Then car clayed all over followed by a second wash. Dried and then taped up for a machine over with compound. Washed again and then machined with Black hole glaze with polish on the bonnet, roof and boot lid. Finally waxed all over. Tyres dressed and windows cleaned!!

Sorry about the crappy phone pictures.

Kerbed your 313 alloy... I did one of my 19" 313's yesterday.
Bloody annoying isn't it!

What did you seal them with? I have Jetseal 109 + FK1000p on mine.

All of mine are kerbed unfortunately, not by me but the previous owner. I will probably get them refurbed some time soon. Didnt realise until I took them off today that they are made by BBS. They were on there when I bought it. That will explain why they are so expensive

Looking good Jimbo. You've reminded me I've been meaning to get rid of all the crud on the inside of my wheels. Did you just clay bar them to get the old tar/brake dust off?

Shampoo clean, wonder wheels, clay bar, Poorboys wheel sealant, Meg Gold Class wax. Job done!
