After that first bonding clean...

Post by Tweed » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:11 pm

Whenever I get a new car, it doesn't really seem like it's really mine until I tackle the first big clean... which I did today :)
A plethora of Autoglym goodies... I need to get some clay and do another clean, but for now I feel like we've bonded!

So here are some more pics, of the much shinier merlot (not the best background though I'm afraid...).
Click the pics for a larger version.

(edited to add links to bigger version... bigger versions look shinier :))

Thanks all :)

Enfield - Nope, all Autoglym.

Z4kma - the list goes like this -

Leather Cleaner
Leather Care Cream
Clean Wheels
Alloy Wheel Seal
Instant Tyre Dressing
Super Resin Polish
Extra Gloss Protection
Fast Glass

I'd run out of Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner, so I had to use Turtle Wax Car Shampoo, and I'd run out of Hood Protector, so I didn't use the Fabric Roof Cleaner.

Autoglym rocks :)

That looks superb good old AG products have you ever tried topping with some Carnuaba wax can not recomend it enough really adds to the finish my SRP+EGP is topped with Victoria Concours leaves a real glossy look also try some of this each time you wash the car its superb and really quick just spray and buff once the car is dry. http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/Pro ... w_337.html

Your 108s look in good nick :thumbsup:

Ooh, cheers for the link Gaza, I'll add some of that to my collection!

The 108s do appear to have a bit of corrosion inside, but there are no scuffs or chips... and I intend to keep them that way ;)
