Cragus Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 So I decided to give my car a little bit of tender loving care. I'm not a pro detailer by any means but I did the best I could using some of the advice from the website. So after washing the car, clay barring and meguiar 3 stepping, tyre dressing, rain x-ing, alloy wheel brushing I nipped to the park close to my girlfriends house and snapped some pictures at the entrance. I didn't have my camera so pictures were taken on a mobile phone. It was also getting dark after finishing so hope the pictures show my blood sweat and tears. I will try take some more pictures with my camera in the daylight in the next few days. ...and for those southerners - look at the last few photos. Thats what a real cow should look like. Quote
jim Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Car looks Black shines up well. Were the pics taken at Pollok Park? Quote
Jay Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Car is looking great buddy very shiney Highland cows lol cracking animals, surprised they came up to the fence tho. Quote
Cragus Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah, it's pollock park Jim....not far from my girlfriends house and the only place nearby I could think of to get some decent photos. I am quite happy with the results but it tooks hours upon hours, especially after having clayed the car, to going over the car another three times with the meguiar steps. Hopefully it lasts. Thanks Jay. Hope the studying has gone well today! The cow in the picture was a calf. The young were coming up to the fence...loving a bit of ear stroking. All i have to say though, is their tongues gross me out man. They are so long.....i got a couple of big licks on the hands....ewwwww Quote
Stew Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Very nice. That's not a real cow though! That's just a mini one! Heelin coos see to like Zeds..... Quote
Cragus Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah Stew, the calfs were coming over to have a nosey. The adult ones were not bothering their backside though. Guess you have quite a few of these up your way. Quote
clarkie34 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Nice shine mate. I agree that claying is a pain. Quote
martinmac Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Great work, the Kuro is a sod to keep clean but well worth it Quote
Cragus Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Great work, the Kuro is a sod to keep clean but well worth it Not to mention stone chips showing up! I have more chips than the entire McDonalds franchise (no, "their not chips, their fries" efforts). I think my car is ebisu black - is there a difference between it and kuro??? Anyway thanks guys! Will try to get some more pictures in better light when I have time but i have the manic street preachers gig tonight so probably not today Quote
martinmac Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Yes mate, I should have realised Just as difficult to keep clean though Quote
H5 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Great work, the Kuro is a sod to keep clean but well worth it +1 - nice Quote
Maccaman Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 The hardwork was definitely worth it, car is looking Regular cleaning & polishing should be a lot easier now Quote
Cragus Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Heres hoping Maccaman....going to EK cruise with Paul, Irfan and Jay on Thursday so need to keep it nice and shiny. Quote

Cragus Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 I knew somebody would go there! ...the aerial is in proportion to the rest of the car! Quote
Jay Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I knew somebody would go there! ...the aerial is in proportion to the rest of the car! Is that your excuse for all thing lol. "But its big compared to my proportional height and body size" Quote
