Love those photos, let's keep this thread going with more examples.
I too just like Les with his V8 polished up the crash bar at the front when I had the bumper off there, next time I take the bumper off I'll take a photo and post it. It had a dull, mottled, oxidised look, now it gleams! Another one of my pointless (but hugely satisfying) detailing results that I had partaken on my 1.8 which is why I've just taken the decision to withdraw from sale, I've put so much into it. I've started doing the same to my newly purchased 2.5 which has had a harder life and will take a lot more effort, I can and have improved her a lot but still a long, long way to go. |

Autoglymed the inside of my newly refurbished wheels before the tyres were fitted (much to the disgust of the tyre fitter, struggling to keep a hold of them!).

OK, today I washed in between the framework of the fuel filler flap with a toothbrush, after first removing it from the car, this was after removing all of the external chrome trims, wheel arch liners, bumpers and front wings, in order to give the car a good clean.
On the interior, I removed the door cards so I could vacuum inside the doors, and remove the side glasses to clean the parts you normally can't see. Oh, and I removed the drivers door lock, took all of the tumblers from the barrel, washed and reassembled it, finishing off by polishing the stainless spring loaded flap, then refitting the escutcheon. Does that count as excessive to anyone Brian |
