So Ive decided to clean the car, and I normal just chuck a bucket of water/suds and drive fast to dry.
But I thought the ole "shark" needed more than this. So I went armed with a credit card and bought:
lambswool wash mitt
microfibre wash mitt
heavyweight microfibre drying towel
Bucket
Polisher
Meguiars Nxt Generation Car Wash
Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit
Meguiars Step 1 Paint Cleaner
Meguiars Step 2 Polish
Meguiars Nxt Gen WAX

Took me all afternoon just to do the bonnet and arches, but damn!!! Its another level of clean.
The Smooth Surface Clay Kit is something else, I couldnt believe the crap it has lifted. Its is as smooth as glass. Highly recommend this stuff.
Just need to finish the other panels now. Going to do my mates when finished, as his is black and you get a better idea of the finish (will post pics).
Here is a mid project pic for anyone interested.
Will post finished pics when Im done, probably 2010 at this rate

Oh, and my mate has finished making my gaiter and flat panel thingy-ma-jiggy
Chucking them in now.

thats a really nice house!!

btw sweet job on the polishing!

Good work there buddy....

It is amazing how much crap a decent clay kit can remove from the paintwork eh ?

And that gaitor 'n' panel look top notch

My mate owns a leather alteration shop. Can do anything from car seats to erm... gaiters lol
His main job is building and repairing bike leathers.
He has all sorts of covers like ostirich, snake, carbon, metal, and leather.

Just need him to re-cover my leather seats next!!

he got a website yer?

looks really sweet mate !

i love that flat panel thingy how mutch you pay for that? (probberly free too you :P) i mean how mutch does he sell them for?

Yeah, I get stuff done for free as I have known him all my life and I have been roped into building his website, not so good lol

As it stands, he is currently gettings samples put together so I can put on the site (using my coupe) and working out prices etc. He is going to cover the plastic bits on the back of my seats as they are a bit shabby, so will post pics of those bad boys when done.

I obviously have the templates for a gen 3 but he would require templates for the other models if any different?
Closer to the time if anyone who has another model wanted anything making he would offer a good discount as this would allow for templates to be made.
I also made it clear that anyone from this site should also get discount

Will keep you all posted with any news etc
