Luckily I managed to find a spare day last week to get my car spruced up for the summer after its winter hibernation

No full write up as normal as it wasn't dirty to begin with so I'll list the process carried out instead

- Wheels removed, washed, tar spots removed with Tardis, IPA'd and then protected with Wolf's Nano Rim Sealant (2 coats).

- Wheel nuts polished with Swissvax Metal Polish.

- Tyres cleaned with Tardis and dressed with Swissvax Pneu.

- Coilovers protected with Swissvax Motorshine.

- Car washed with Meguiars Shampoo Plus

- Minor tar spots removed with tardis

- No need for claying or machine polishing so just a thorough IPA wipe down to remove the previous LSP.

- 2 coats of Wolf's Body Wrap applied to the paintwork (I was planning on a 3rd but the paint started to spit some out after the 2nd).

- Wolfs Nano Trim Sealant applied to the front splitter and mud flaps.

- Nanolex Premium on the glass.

- Werkstat Acrylic Jett on the window rubbers and trim.

The underside was also given a quick going over the previous weekend:

Engine bay also done with Swissvax Motorshine:

And here's the rest of the afters in no particular order

And on display yesterday with the rest of the PB cars

Thanks for looking

Clark

The tyre paint was off the following week, I still think it looked good but the tyre walls obviously flex a bit during spirited driving so they cracked a bit :lol:

Clark thats simply stunning as usual, you cease to amaze me

how does the 'Wolf's body wrap' compare to the Werkstat?

Posted: **Mon Apr 18, 2011 5:21 pm**

Absolutely awesome Clark, you are a fookin genius!!

Stunning !

Sorry Chris B but Clark's is a tad infront :lol:

Impressive stuff Clark, although ive never seen a pic of your car caked in it after a motorway journey in the rain. Are you sure you actually take it out on anything but perfect days ??

It was parked up in the garage over the winter covered in crud as I got caught out in the rain on it's last year of 2010 - did my head in seeing it dirty everytime I went into the garage :lol:

Mate your car always looks stunning!

I reckon I have picked up your first flaw - and only one to be fair...

the windscreen wash is running below max level...might need a top up! :lol:

Posted: **Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:58 pm**

You'll all laugh at me but I haven't ever used the screen washed or topped it up since buying the car - I NEVER use my wipers as I hate the light scratches you get from them. The glass sealant means the water flies off even at 20mph so the wipers are basically redundant :lol:

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2011 8:09 am**

which glass sealant do you use ?

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2011 12:06 pm**

Must be something like Rain-X that ive used on mine. Smells like pure vodka when you put it on... Its tempting to have a swig and taste it but ive resisted so far :lol:

It's Nanolex premium glass sealant I use, Rain-X is crap in comparison!

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2011 9:05 pm**

Knew it wouldn't be as simple as Rain X :wink:

[quote="WR 1mpostor (aka number 1 moderator)"]Stunning !

Sorry Chris B but Clark's is a tad infront :lol:

Clark knows who the Daddy is,for a young boy he is getting there but still a long way to go. :lol:

How do you get rid of bugs splattered on the windscreen Clark? Or do they not stick with that sealant on the windscreen?

FFS! The guy at Halfords told me that it was the best stuff money could buy for your windscreen... The lieing ba**ards!!
