First attempt at detailing



  Clio 182
Hi all,

Ive been a CS member for a few months now but not posted any pics yet, probably because my car is always filthy. So today i went a little bit further than showing it a soapy sponge and then driving it round the block to dry it off!

First off this mornin was a trip to halfords in Chester, to spend a rediculous amount of money on cleaning products. Even had to buy a new hose as my old one doesnt reach the drive, so i just used to chuck a bucket of water over it. Bad times for the clio!

So i gave the car a proper clean and drying off but obvoiusly the surface of the paint still felt like sand paper. Using a clay bar kit was totally new to me and it was hard work to be fair but the car looks great now and the paint feels much smoother. I then gave it a polish, but forgot to buy some wax so will have to get some tomorrow.

I know the exhaust looks rubbish but i have a milltek ready to be fitted on saturday and i cant wait.

thanks for looking.
