What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Crafoo]

Very interesting, certainly something I'd look at if i was in the market for a new car, seems to cover all bases, solid 4wd, loads of room, build quality and oodles of power, the one you picked looks like the best of the bunch on the trader too.

Gave mine a quick wash earlier today, i know it needs a polish and wax but the plastic panels look a browner/orange shade of black under this bright sun :/

Finally got all the Sahara dust off the car, pre washed, rinsed, cleaned alloys, rinsed, washed, dried, removed some surface scratches, waxed, rinsed, dried and applied some astonish instant shine spray. Works no bad for a quid and a half.

Now time for some titanfall before dinner. (add me on Xbox live - HawBawJaws)

Just had the rear eibach's fitted, going to get the front done tomorrow morning. Rear have dropped my 3cm.

And found the rear passenger side spring had snapped right at the bottom so good job I was changing them.

I've been getting round to do this job since before Christmas so the fact I've actually nailed down a definite day is good

Rears are simple. Literally one bolt and hopefully the front won't be much of a problem.

Everyone I've spoken to say the fronts are a bit of a pain as they are clamped.

I kind of stuck my catback on with about an inch of it inserted into the downpipe as a quick install fix, and it accidentally popped out today... My god that was loud, and embarrassing.. I felt like a subaru owner!! Oh the embarrassment!

So today I gave the FR a mini detail and minor machine polish today, which it was long overdue.

I started by snow foaming the car using my gilmour foam gun & rinsing with the hose x2

Before

After

I then washed it with AG shampoo using a Meguires wash mitt and the two bucket method. After that I rinsed the car again and put a second lot of Bilberry wheel cleaner on the wheels, while the Bilberry was doing its thing I dried the rest of the car using a Poorboys waffle weave towel before cleaning the wheels.

This left me with this.

I then clayed the bonnet an set about polishing it using my rotary polisher &
Poorboys SSR polish.

Couldn't resist missing a good photo opportunity.

After I had done the bonnet I thought best to leave the machine polishing as it was getting on to about 5pm, so I gave it a coat of Poorboys black hole (great stuff) and then a coat of Nattys pink paste wax. To finish I used some AG metal polish on the exhaust & put some Megs tyre gel on the tyres.

Sorry about all the pics lol.

Comments welcome.

Looks sharp mate!

 

[olitaylor07]

Why did you only clay and polish the bonnet?

That was the only part I wanted to machine polish, plus I didn't have time to do more. The rest was polished by hand.
