think your car is shiny??? (56k go get a good deal on broadband)

Irf · 25-11-2006, 21:22

Got hold of some 17" Octy wheels and a Milltek exhaust with sports cat and thought it would be rude not to take a few pics

Want a FMIC and ICE then going to leave the car as it is

Washed the car with AG Shampoo using a foamer, and the two bucket method with baby shampoo in one and a wash mitt. Then applied a coat of P21S. Paint is in good nick so didn't need to use a claybar or any paint cleaners. Used the AG Instant Tyre Shine on the wheels and tyres and left it to dry. Polished the tailpipes with Peek polish.

Will get some better pics soon, I'm limited to what I can do in a garage lol:

Products I used:

Engine bay cleaned with a soft brush using AG Engine Cleaner, then used a watering can to wash off the soap. Applied AG Instant Tyre Dressing for the shine

My reflection on the bonnet

Tried to get a close-up of the metallic flakes in the Black Magic paint

I love the way the Milltek pipes follow the curve of the bumper

Reflection on the roof

Octygone · 25-11-2006, 21:29

Looks good ....but don't forget black cars only stay clean for 20 minutes

Quinten · 25-11-2006, 21:30

I wish I had a garage I could fit my car in

Nice work though

I'm not using it till tomorrow night

20VLIL · 25-11-2006, 23:08

Looks fantastic. I was'nt that keen on the Autoglym tyre spray...made the tyres brown. I found Meguiars tyre gel lasts much longer.
Lots of hard work there

My shiniest picture....

Makefish · 26-11-2006, 00:00

That's one gleeming looking car sir

.

You available at weekends for a little side line activity?

Fabia 12v · 26-11-2006, 12:18

Using all the same Autoglym products as yourself. Although was dirty in 10mins of driving lol!

Irf · 26-11-2006, 12:32

Blade404 · 26-11-2006, 15:49

This is the shiniest I've had my car so far... by the looks of things I need to put abit more effort in

Irf · 26-11-2006, 16:37

Silver is the hardest colour to get reflections off. You need very strong light to get a similar effect to other colours, although nothing can touch black for sheer depth

Blade404 · 26-11-2006, 16:41

Yeah.. but silver can still look fairly clean when in fact is grafted!!

Like mine is atm!!

ChrisRs · 26-11-2006, 19:58

Mine comes up well with Swissol Wax:

Dave_Fox · 26-11-2006, 20:15
