Well spotted fella!
No, I use two buckets, one with my shampoo and one with clean water in so when I wash each panel I rinse in that bucket then dip back in the foam. If that makes sense. Really good technique so your not dipping your dirty mitt back in the clean shampoo mixture
:idea:

I'de love to get a gt conversion on the rear but probably more trouble than it's worth tbh

 

[karbineftw]

[B3NNETT]

Yeh I borrowed some of Tris' advice about cleaning so I went and got some autoglym shampoo and super resin polish. As you know it's my B'day next wednesday so I'm going to get some wax and clay from my parents, I would prefer it tuesday though so I can turn up all polished etc. lol

I just need to clean up my base plates with some wood polish (Mr sheen) as they are filthy!

Haha they did already pay for the car as my pressy so I'm kinda not getting anything. Or so they say but usually have something up their sleeves. Insurance I hope . My Dad rang Quinn up today and they quoted me £677.75 and didn't need to take any mod details! I was so happy :O :O
And yeh Mr sheen because that would mean I don't have to go up and buy some B2B lol

 

[NaySei]

I reckon white wheels

 

[BrumBrum]

They are **** hot just got to get some bumper restore on the plastic parts of the mirror to make them black again and your sorted

 

[Tris Harris]

looking good

instead of back 2 black, why not use a heat gun on your black plastics?

Waft it over and the top layer of plastic is burnt off (not literally burnt but i dont know how to describe it) and the plastics will come up really black and last as long as when the car was new.

depends if you have a heat gun or not though i suppose lol, a hairdryer may work but take longer!

 

[karbineftw]

I might give that a go if I can get hold of a heat gun but most prob going to be back to black

 

[B3NNETT]

if you cant get a heat gun you can use the back to black i keep in my boot on tuesday

 

[karbineftw]

That's a nice gesture thank you very much
