Looks great ...

I'm so pleased I took a dive to save it.

Good job I've learnt how to use the gearbox since then or I would have needed to employ you full time

Grandad · 17-04-2007, 23:56

Oh amd BTW my trick for making the wheels look like new was very simple

I replaced them all with barnd new ones

I cleaned Tochi today. Just jetwashed though as the weather is too changeable. Products being used on the next clean are:

Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner
Luxurious Lambs Wool Wash Mitt
Water Magnet Drying Towel
Foam Applicator Pad (twin pack) x 2
4 x Microfibre Cloth
Quik Clay Detailing System
STEP 1 - Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
STEP 2 – Deep Crystal Polish
STEP 3 - Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax

Today though I did polish my exhaust and it's so shiny and sparkly yay! Mind you I did get carried away and it started on the tip and ended up doing the whole back box

I also did my alloys, the only problem is now the difference between the corroded bits and the shiny bits is horrifically obvious :undecided: So this year I think it's going to have to be a set of silver 16" Rota Circuit 10s *save save save*!!

I applied a similar technique to Rotty to get my exhaust nice and shiny and looking like new this weekend. I'm also considering trying his technique for wheel cleaning. Looking at Bronze Rota Grids myself (Was after gunmetal/chrome Slipstreams for a while but they're getting a bit too common now

)

I'm even getting tempted to splash the cash and send it away for some minor restoration and a full respray before the work of the rust fairies starts to become noticable.

Well I did it today...... Unfortunately, no camera available other than my camera phone which is shockingly low quality. It's come up looking brilliant - the pics really don't do it justice. I'll just have to get Memphis to vouch for how good it looks when he gets to see it. 5 bleedin hours though, still Tochi ain't looking bad for a 12 year old boy:
