No bother Alex, thats the problem of the internet though, jokes are lost in the typing lol. Picked up car today, liking the power ha ha. Auto wipers are also useful
get a new readers ride started now!!!!! aha
Took advantage of the halfords 3 for 2 just now and started my spring cleaning.
Gave the car a good wash, and then concentrated on interior. Bought autoglym glass polish which I'm very impressed with. Much better than the fast glass. Did that on all windows and they honestly feel like glass.
Good hoover and then used autoglym interior shampoo which again I'm pleased with. Did all the seats and carpets where needed. Then wiped down with interior wipes.
Finally used my new meguiars tyre shine and I think it's amazing. I've just used cheap ones before and thought they were ok but this is great.
Results are as follows:
Really need new mats and new pedals. They were a present when I got the car but tbh I liked them at the time.
Still to come this week:
Wheels off for a good clean
Repaint brake calipers
Clay
Polish
Glaze
Wax
Maybe try and get the back badge painted but well see.

Fitted these a while ago but just got round to taking pictures
New gear knob, leather gaiter with white stitching and diy White surround.
Diy White vent switches
Was unsure of the White bits at first but they've really grown on me. As said, would look better against black. Maybe some day.
Get the vent surrounds painted white too.. would look good
Nah, would like the aluminium ones I think then paint the whole bit that comes up from the cd player over the steering wheel all White.
No its flyeyes just now. It's not half as dark as it looks in those pictures though. Must just be the light. Considering getting the lamin-x dark smoke cos I want it to look like that.
Fancy doing mine? lol. I'm going to attempt mine at the weekend, not been washed for a ages
Have you smelled the Meguiars Tyre gel yet?
Dunno, I'm expensive. Not tried that. Dodo juice supernatural I use. Love it.
Yes! Aw I loved it. Love a product with a good smell ha.
It's ok, you won't do as good of job as me anyway ha ha! Dodo juice not quite expensive? What kind of shine does it give you on the white paint?
The smell is one of the reasons i use that tyre gel, it's yummy ha
Pfffft don't know about that. Yeah the supernatural stuff was. Just wanted to try it n see what the fuss was about. It's the machine stick I have and the shine is great. Does actually look wet. Well worth it. Need to get a good glaze or sealant for this week. Don't know what to go for.
machine stick? I use Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection for sealant, seems to work pretty well.
Yeah it's like a big prit stick to put the wax on a machine polisher pad. Might try that then. Was looking at the poorboys white diamond glaze. I've sent an email to rubbish boys on here, see what he recommends.
autoglym hd wax all the way....greg see that meguires tyre gel you got, is it the one thats purple? or is it a spray on one?
It will need to be good to put me off the supernatural. It's the purple gel. Endurance or something it's called. Got the wee applicator thing too.
Well day 2 of spring clean was a bit less productive. For my car anyway. Did my sisters inside and out
And looked after her wee pup, fletcher.
Not what I had planned but I'll get paid for it n that will take me to the football tonight. Silver lining.

Saw that on a White leon on here.. looks really nice... Some guy from Sweden.
Yeah that's exactly what I want. Someone told me the whole dash was plastic welded so I don't know how I'd go about it. Would definitely like to give it a shot though.
