Clean & Detail Inferno 182 CUP

[Snake182]

Decided today that I would clean and detail my car as my new exhaust arrived this week, so I got to fitting it ( I know this part isn't to do with detailing so its basically ASW )

Before:

After:

Now onto the cleaning/products, buying fairly cheap/basic cleaning stuff at the moment as I have pumped so much money into this since buying it 8 weeks ago (huge list) so I did the best with what I had .

The products:

I started with washing the car twice using the two bucket method and then hand dried the car using the Meguiar's water magnet. Next I clayed the whole car to remove any sap/contaminants from the paintwork. Then I gave the car a quick hand polish using Meguiar's ultimate polish and finished off with some Auto-glym HD wax,

Wax on:

Wax off:

see finished pictures below.

Decent results... Inferno doesn't get much love on here but I really like it on the Clio.

Btw your car isn't a Cup.

That looks fantastic and defo can tell the difference and that's what i need to do change my exhaust from standard.

Nice work mate. Just shows you don't need all the mega expensive stuff.

Nice wet finish the wax has left too.

It is a cup, It just hasn't got the cup spoiler pack, and front splitter is missing, but it has the cup suspension package , grey 16" wheels etc, confirmed by Fred at BTM, I checked with him while I was there :rasp:

It has 1 of the cup packs, Xenons and no doubt a half leather interior with CC means it's not a full blown Cup.

I'm not knocking the car just being pedantic, As I said it looks great.

Clean - get that sticker off though looks cack

Haha, naa its all good mate, just wanted to clear up that its not 'full fat' but it is a 'CUP' but if I bought a spoiler and splitter then its would be full blown I suppose, but neither are important in my eyes however the suspension is.

Lol im still trying to make my mind up on this, unless your on about the ELF sticker in the rear window?

 

[Snake182]

Looks good!

It has the cup suspension pack, but it isn't a cup.

Cheers dude, I love it tbh, especially with it being an upgrade from a vtr

Infernos actually get a decent amount of love on here. Don't think there's many hateful colours tbh

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Car looks good. As said it isn't a cup though mate. It's cup packed.

Cup's are completely different, I know because I own one

 

[JD]

Looks cracking! Great results and love (but wouldn't own) this colour.

And... It isn't a cup it has cup packs. Or some of at least. Either that or it's had a new front end incl xenons and a new interior fitted!

Thanks mate, I get it now, mine isn't a cup, just the suspension pack, didn't realise tbf as im new to Clio's. I didn't realise the 'cup' was actually cheaper and comes with less extras so I was infact mis-representing my car to be poverty spec . I might buy a cup spoiler and carbon splitter so it would then be a 182FF. Also what do you guys think to carbon wrapping the badges and any black exterior trims? I think black carbon wrap would look really nice against the inferno colour, Surely anything is an upgrade from the bog standard plastic trim? Opinions please

Not a fan of carbon wrap personally, Treat the plastics with GT C4 and they'll stay nice and black for ages.

Its looks well, but where was the detailing ? As far as i can see it was only washed and waxed.

That's my fault ,:rasp: I could have posted stacks of photos and a huge write up but couldn't be bothered and doubt anyone would care, just a few after shots will do. I cleaned every little crevis and even got the cotton buds out, didn't write/post pictures of the full body clay barring/paint correction/polishing phase, or the paintwork sealant I applied. Neither did I post the pictures of the interior that is immaculately clean
