finaly cleaned the beast

right it all started tuesday morning the girlfriend said come on and we wash the vivio so i thought why not stick a tread up about it on the site i detail cars on the side anyway, didn't get too long on the car about 4 and half hrs with the girlfriend helping but i think i got a fair bit done
some before pics:





the roof

the roof up close

and the petrol cap em ya it doesnt get used often the joys of 600cc engine

the boot lid which has probally never been cleaned

and the interior floor



right time to get the gear




the was washed three times and then de-tared and clay bared polished and waxed

de-tar its ok not the best i've used but still a good product


the polish brilliant realy like using


the wax expensive but seriously good


the other thing i used and was really good was the engine and machine cleaner didn't get a pic was getting giving out to cause i wasn't doing any work



some end results:







the roof after wash polish clay and wax its so smooth its like it was re painted



the boot shut cleaned

the petrol cap after a big difference





the interior was done with power hi foam for the carpets and vinal and rubber for the dash both realy good products


all pics were taking on my new iphone 4s i think a good camera, right well thats my effort criticism is wellcome but i did only get 4 and a half hrs and i didn't get under the bonnet. The next thing i need to get is a machine polisher so i can compound it kinda needed it but in time got to get the glanza back on the road already planning for the trackday

Wow some difference there

id say your arms are sore after that

great work and write up

you should get a blog going on it and the glanza

didnt know you had a vivio aswell

Awesome transformation there!

The petrol filler flap!

Looks fierce well, some amount of auto glym goodies there :tongue:

jesus your missus done a great job

AG tar remover is actually a decent product but the price of it is ridiculous, 500ml for about €10 makes it €100 for 5L when you can get 5L of Autosmart Tardis for €18

HD Cleanser, SRP and then HD wax is a very good combo, gives excellent results

Good job dude, great turnaround. Goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune on boutique products to get decent results.

looks very good now alright great job but how did you let it get that bad in the first place once every two months from now on .

great job

i think its in around the 400 euro mark ya fairly expensive its hard to try and make a profit without charging people more then the likes of crystal clean and using better stuff on the car

Nice work bro. It badly needed it.

Great job, car is looking great
