Quick tidy up

[alex-avfc]

Spent the whole of Sunday giving my little 1.2 a tidy up as the weather was so nice

For anyone who's interested the process on this occasion was:

Wash- Duragloss 901
Wheels- cleaned with Bilberry acid free, polished/waxed with rimwax
Had already been clayed about a month back so didnt bother with that
Bit of Tar removal (Autoglym Intensive)
Polish/Glaze- Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze (love this stuff!)
Wax- Dodo Juice Light fantastic

No befores (I just can't take pics of it whilst dirty:dead but heres the afters..

 

[Curley]

Mint mate! You decided about doing the bullets yet?

Why you love the vanilla moose then?

I put mine on at night so didn't really see the results too good. The red moose is supposed to go well if applied after too so i really want to give that a go.

Cheers Curls!

It just seemed to give a real wet-look and a lot of gloss

Probably didnt add much to yours as your paints already well prepped through PC'ing, guess it would only add a little extra to that.

Think I'm gonna take the bullets to the bodyshop as I want the silver bits to match the body colour of the car (I'd c**k doing that up!). Should be piss easy to do yours though, just ping them off, mask the rest up then use a touch up brush and laquer for the writing?

Aw cheers mate- I'm suprised you haven't told me how badly it needs lowering though

Next time i use it i'll make sure its in the day.

Painting little things like bullets look really easy so if you get the paint i'm sure you would be fine. The silver bullets look good though! Thats why ive decided to keep mine as they are

 

[alex-avfc]

Hmm you might be right actually. Might save my money! Everyone on here seems to have painted bullets these days anyway

Looks brilliant mate, the more 1.2's i see colour coded the more i know its what needs doing to mine! Could definately do with lowering, but then again so could mine!!!

They're smart as they are mate, I nearly painted my front diamond anthracite, as in i had the products in my hand at halfords but put them back.. really glad i didn't do it tbh.
