Not in the racing sence!! but in the cleaning!
Car belongs to some freins of ours from wales who asked nicely if i could clean it for them when they have their summer holls down here! stupidly i said Yeah no worries without even seeing it!!
Car arrived on monday and on the face of it looked okay! until i looked inside!
anyways, as per usual, took a few snaps of the car before and after!
Befores - Bodywork, not too bad but ineed of a machineing,
Interior
Bl##dy awful!
had already wipped the other side of the back seat out to have a test on when i took this!
I tok my time over this one as i knew there was no rush for it to go back as they bought down the CX safary with them, and also, not been feeling my bets lately so little bits ata time! And the water board have been cutting the supply of during the day too! Grrrrrrrrrr!
but the afters!
ands a nice Bonnet reflection Shot!
the inside!! i had the whole lot out of the car to clean it properly as it saves time in the long run beleive it or not, and also meant i oculd get to all the internal carpet!!
Quite pleased with the outcome, althoguh has been quite overcast today so cant get the full shiny pics, but weather permitting hoping to pop a second coat of wax on sunday to seal it up for a good 10 months so may be then!!
but all things considered it took me 7 hours to do (split over 2 days) and considering its a 165k M plater its not come up to bad!
Oh, and its not been started since monday and the damn things Hardly sunk!
thoguth i would share it with you all anyways!
i am off for a soak in the bath!
