I used those relatively new Flash "blocks" which you dampen - £1 for 2 at the Pound shop........

So good to know I'm not the only one to admire clean wheel inners........

Also give all my black suspension components a rub over with wd40 and a cloth come MOT time, gives a good impression, but they know me well and they think I'm sad as well.

You all are playing at being mad hatters (cleaning materials top floor)

Do you clean the underside and engine AH! AH! AH! my little friends.

And my 75 AH! AH! AH!

What products do you use on the black stuff...............

Paranoid Carlos · 24th May 2007, 19:43

Never seen a close up of the diff before that exhaust looks tight...

Turtle wax but once you have polished the car and the soft application rag is wet from the polish, its that I use on the black bits. I also polish up the ali pipes with Duroglit every six months. I wash top down and wheels last. The wheels are done with a sponge everything else is with a mitten then shami'ed down and I never apply polish in the sun.

Not as tight as you think.

Paranoid Carlos · 24th May 2007, 20:18

I take it the silencers were off for the clean up........ You'd never run it on open pipes would you, you pervert

Impressed by the CDT engine shots cannot get a gloss on mine seems to matt after a day

Its nice to see that I am not the only one with a compulsion to polish things.....just noticed mikes thread showing R40 being polished to death.

It really is in the detailing.....ask anyone who has ever entered a concourse competition and they will tell you stories of mind boggling obsessivness when it comes to prep work....stories of divorce and marital alienation are common.

Maybe thats why I sleep in the shed.

Beautifull cars gentlemen.....come on........ lets see some more results of your obsessive polishing!:SHOCKED:

Those under the bonnet shots of the diesel have inspired me...the neighbours will definitely think I've got kangaroos in the top paddock now...

Very clean Tim, very clean...
