My detailing effort!!!!!!

[shane@mbtech]

My car was booked in yesterday for a detail in mansfield nottingham area.
But my little baby is not well so i did not want to leave my baby and girlfriend at home all day on their own. A few hours from liverpool. So i had to cancel,:banghead: (sorry paul)

I really wanted my car detailed so my brother went to halfrauds 3 for 2 on cleaning products.

Got myself a good car wash/shampoo, a good clay bar kit, fine resin polish/sealer, and already had myself good quality carnuba wax.

I set about.....

1. I washed the car,
2. Chamois towel dried,
3. Clay barred with meguiars
4. I then washed again with meguiars product
5. I then chamois/towel dried (again)
6. Auto glym super resin polish, buffed off by hand
7. Good quality carnuba waxed.

All this by hand. And im very very pleased with the results, it took me about 3 hrs in total.

I am still going to book in for the detail when i get a chance. ( Babies rule:smt055)

Silver wheels look so plain and boring to me now.

I think the black wheels give it a certain type of agressiveness it deserves.

Totally transform the car, my misses wants hers on her c class estate black now:banghead:, even though when i had them refurbed i suggested black, but no she wanted silver, now she has changed her mind:bigcry:,

Oh well best get cracking and do my c class wheels now:thumbs:

Nice one Lawsy, doing all that work by hand is a killer (i know as i was detailling as a hobby for 12 months!).

nice detailing job mate!!!

I also love the CSL with black wheels.... when it is time, I will source a set of CSL wheels and paint them black too.... it does make the car looks heaps more aggressive and I reckon CSL should have come with black wheels from the start... give the car more characteristics... same as those GT machines from Poker..

cheers,

Hold on a minute - that's my car! Oh no it can't be - looks like 'M3' side grilles rather than 'CSL' side grilles... :hahaha:

Car looks great mate :thumbs:

Mine sits a little better than yours, get the kw's on before oulton:thumbs:, set up right the car is night and day, compared to stock

I could not be bothered swapping the badges over, so left the m3 ones on.

Talking of setting-up, where did you get yours done mate?

I've just put the matt black front and side grills on my car and i think it looks a lot better.

Just waiting for my Black wheels to arrive this week :thumbs:
