Johnny50 · 08-04-2008, 09:39

I ended up spending 10 hours on the Octy on Sat, dodging hailstones at times.

Removed all 4 wheels and cleaned/clayed/polished/wheel waxed inside and out, fitted new wheel centres.

Managed to wash the car, hoover, refit tailgate trim and polish bits.

Got up at 7 this morning, quick hose down and dry with waffle weave, then when at the meet - polished the bits I didn't do yesterday then got a coat of wax on her.

Did the windows in and out, quick wipe over the interior platics/leather, another coat of wheel wax and tyres dressed and finally managed to rest around 11.30am.

So all in I think that is 12.5 hours over the last 2 days cleaning the motor - well worth it tho she is gleaming

I think it paid off though; it looked stunning

Though not as nice as mine

Skodaboy1983 · 13-04-2008, 22:41

I hear you won best lemon of the day Steven ?

Well done buddy. Cars a credit to ya buddy.

stevenh · 13-04-2008, 23:22

Well, the pressure was on with me being an ex-car valeter and all!

To be honest, I was just using the Show and Shine as an excuse for giving the car her bi-yearly clay/polish/wax and fit the wheel centres I bought 3 months ago!

Don't get this much time off from family duties often.

Skodaboy1983 · 14-04-2008, 07:22

I'll let you off then Steven!

It was a cracking day only wish I had done the karting now.

Think I spent two tho three hours yesterday cleaning the car along with Hannah, not thats it's clean now with all this rain!

VRS 203 · 15-04-2008, 19:03

What a good day it was.
Well done Steven on the show and shine trophy!
Least mine got a wee polish, needed it for a while.

Screw all this 12 hour melarky though!

HA HA!
