scouk Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Well with loads of other folk on here cleaning their Scoobies last weekend thought I'd start on mine. I got myself one of the new Meguiars Machine Polishers last December and only recently have I been able to test it out! Two weeks ago I did the top of hte spoiler and last week I did the roof. Need to take the time and go over the rest of the car..Here's the results so far: Stuff used: Meguars Quick Clay PoorBoys SSR2 Blackfire Polish Blackfire Paint Protection Topped off with Colonite to bring out the richness (add to add hard wearing protection) Definately less cobweb marks than there was before and much clearer looking paint! (sorry about the lack of before photos, wasn't thinking) The Spoiler has been in bad need of this since It got painted last year.. Very impressed with how it's turned out so far.. Just need to get the Side-skirts and front splitter looking as shiny now Added a touch of Carbon Fibre to the B-Piller .. Ok it's not real carbon fibre but a vinyl that looks liek carbon fibre.. I'll see how long it lasts before water gets in behind it and it peels off. Few more random shiny shots of the car.. And by the time Monday comes roudn it will be minging again... Roll on Summer!

Looks good like that... Kinda how mine looks after a week.. Dunno why I bother cleaning it.. Thanks for the comments guys n' gals! Getting carried away with it now.. Took the rear wing off in order to make one of the fixing holes bigger.. I get an annoying squeak every time I go over small bumps and it comes from the rear wing.. So tried making one of the holes slightly larger to stop it rubbing and put in some rubber rings to absord any vibration. Hopefully that'll stop the squeak.. With the wing off, it just made a good excuse to clean up the boot lid.. And boy did it need it! Before - Spot the mini scratches Note to self: fix the "k" on the website address After - Still a few slight scratches but much improved from the above! Ok now I'm just taking the p*** hah! if you look closely you can just see the spoiler lying in the background That bloody squeak had better be fixed now... Edited February 24, 2008 by ScoUK
Big Gordon Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 You must be well chuffed with that finish mate, superb!
