How to detail your 'other' P&J

[Lotto]

Having paid attention to the work Paddy carried out on my DBS to get it looking like this:




These are the only pictures I currently have but will take some more once the car is home from Works Anyway back to the point and methodology to get a clean set of wheels.



Get your P&J out the garage



Make sure you have all the right equipment in the correct proportion to size of the job in hand



Ensure you throughly wash and snow foam allowing it to linger a sufficient amount of time to ensure the dirt and grit to wash off



Make sure you use the 'two bucket' (dog bowl) method



Once dried tape off the edges so as not to get any polish on the black trims



Use colour coded microfibres to avoid cross contamination - note the before (to the left) and after (to the right) reflections



Don't worry too much about a bit of condensation in the headlamps. I have it on very good authority that they all do that sir...aka TADTS



Check out the finish and reflection in good natural light



When its all done reverse in nice and straight and park up in the garage ready for the next outing - Nick please take note - reversed in and straight.

Thanks for your time and just in case anyone is worried no dogs went without water during this process.

Front wheels aren't quite as straight as they should be though

Cheers Tony. This guide will come in useful if I can ever be arsed to clean mine:



Also I notice you don't even have the 4 wheel steer option?

Thats definately got too much toe in on the front alignment. How's the handling?

I recommend a full 4 wheel alignment before you have a nasty accident and have to explain grass stains on your person to the wife.

But does it live in an Airchamber?

Mine doesn't live in an Airchamber and it isn't very shiny either, but it does do 6ft wide stripes!

Paddy keeps trying to take it off topic by posting pictures of a DBS!

I has a brief thought that you had gone down the vagazzle route and thank goodness that we won't have to see if you have.

It looks like you have the training bra tractor and rubber though!
