Well the Astra was in a real state.
It had got to the point where in the dark i could not see anything and even with full beam on it looked like the normal running lights.
So with it back from getting it's service and mot i set about it and gave it a clean.
Here it is in the middle of December
Here is was yesterday morning a month and a bit later :lol:
The filthy wheels but with new boots on.
No wonder the lights didnt work very well :lol:
So on with the clean, first up the engine bay, taped up all electrics then i used megs APC with various brushes and washed off. I then applied plastic dressing and buffed to a matt finish.
The wheels where treated to APC and wool wash mitt with various brushes.
I then coated the wheels to some Turtle wax nano wheel wax and the tyres to endurance gel. The plastic arches treated to AG rubber & v care.
The car was washed twice and dried with WW towel and megs last touch.
I then applied AG Ultra Deep shine polish, which wasnt a good move and spent the next 2 1/2 getting the stuff off, i then gave it a quick coat of megs NXT.
The inside was hoovered plastics and rubbers treated and all glass cleaned and then polished.
Although clean the car has some stone chips and a couple of RDS and swirling but it has just turned 7years old and has 90K on the clock.
here are the afters.
A couple of reflection shots when the sun came out.
It took around 4 1/2 hrs, It then rained all night and snowed this morning :lol:
