That is one gorgeous LCR!

Interested to know where you bought those new wipers from...?

Cheers. Will take a look at Awesome GTI. Need a LCR splitter and a diverter valve so may work out better to get it all from there.

Looks very nice mate - Thinking of getting a G220 myself in the next couple of weeks probably with Sonus pads/polishes. My Leon looks like its been cleaned with a scouring pad at some point by the previous owner :(

Car was then rinsed and i inspected for tar, tardis was used to remove that.

I tried a couple dif combos, this was after a few hits with menz 203 and LC lighcut pad.

While i was working on my LCR i think my bros leon ate him, nae i joke he was inspired and started cleaning his

006-43.jpg


I was working fine with 203 for a while then it started to clump up like mad, no idea why. so i changed to 3.02 and it worked perfect so just stuck to it

It was a very getting rather hot so i decided to crack out the vitals

Once all the polishing was done this was the result

024-21.jpg


Alot of polishing dust was all over the car so had to foam it and wash 2BM again

018-25.jpg


I then went on to Werkstat Prime Carnauba

019-19.jpg


it got so excited when i opened it i went straight to the car good stuff

020-24.jpg


2 layers was applied leaving half an hour to cure between coat

It was getting late at this point so didnt get many decent reflection shots, i will be adding another layer wax the morn and with any luck it will be sunny and will get some nice shots.

029-20.jpg


and wax chosen was Migliore Frutta Blend, i didnt find it all that hard to apply, smells awsome have to say

031-14.jpg


since its noce gonna get some more wax on it and add more pics later

Very good results mate, it looks much better now - My G220 should be arriving today but i need to re-clay the car again before anything else. Personally I am a bit worried about tackeling the job in hand to be honest the swirls on my car a really quite severe in places - Must find a **** heap to practice on first hmmmm...:rolleyes:

now that looks mint why do you have to live so far away from me lol

Cheers mate, really chuffed with it, still not perfect IMO so gonna have another crack in a couple of little areas. You can travel;)

Looks great! Makes me feel bad that its been so long since I did mine!

Lots of work but end results are awsome, done once correct and washing it in the correct way for the rest of its life will make the finnish last for ages
