Wheel gone? Or still for sale?

You bought the car from Evo motors in Cheltenham? I recognise the plate as I bought mine from the same seller. Looks very smart!

Thanks all. Weather been abit crap (we had snow in Bristol) so haven't had a chance to go over it again. Needs cleaning because the birds target my car when sh*tting. Bought a Halfords clay mitt, and bilt hamber auto cleaner on amazon so looking forward to using those.

Also anyone got advice on cleaning door cards and leather cleaner. Cheers 😄

Thanks all. I will have a good look at the clay bar and mitt, mitt seems quicker, if there is loads within the paintwork I'll give it a go with the bar.

I was going to buy a clay bar, but took me half hour to do my bonnet on my RX-8, I didnt fancy using it again. Might give it another good clean and clay bar again in a month. Will look at the wheel cleaner cheers.

Ok so whilst the weather was good on the weekend I gave the car a good clean.

It took several hours, but since I've not had it long it deserved some tlc. here is what I did.

Snow Foam (karcher snow foam)

rinsed

washed (Meguairs Gold Class wash)

rinsed again

Wheel cleaner (it was some cheap stuff I had lying around)

washed again (to ensure all dirt was removed)

rinsed again

Tyre spray (Simoniz tyre spray)

dried (using a few microfibre clothes)

Polished (Poorboys polish, mate recommended it)

Buffed

Waxed (Meguairs Gold Class Wax)

Buffed and admire the work.

Then get moaned at by the misses on why I didnt take it to the Turkish car washers down the road. :/

The weather was good so I snow foamed, washed, dried, polished and waxed. So here she is!

Thanks for help uploading photos guys!

I had a Mazda RX-8 and sold it for a 350z GT. 70,000miles on the clock with a cobra exhaust. As soon as I can learn to attach photos I will.

Loving the car atm, so much torque and easier to live with!
