Looks really good!:)

[pessling]

looking good. One recommendation with the magnetic badges is to make sure that the surface that they are going on it wiped off first to prevent any scratching.

Looks pretty smashing! Can you pop down and do mine:)? Oh and that reminds me-when we gonna get the magnetic badges?

[pessling]

soon. Should be being ordered this week. i gave final orders on the thread so once cheque is received my end i can place the order.

wiped the surface and the back of the badge !!

Deano78 from the gentlemans club did the groundwork last year with a full machine polish, so its just maintenance now. used the finish kare hard wax, finished off with the fk1000 detailing spray. needed claying really but gave it a miss this time.

looks better of course in pics than close up, cause you cant see the niggly bits. Previous owner did motorway work and the bumper really needs a respray, its peppered with tiny sonechips. also bonnet leading edge needs chips touching up

That engine bay is a credit to you - wish I could get mine half that clean but short of pressure washing I don't think that's going to happen

Just dish out and show off:run

I don't like pressure washing the engine bay and have never done so. I'm so afraid of getting water in the electrics with such a hard waterjet. I do it the old fashion way with a rug and some detergents.:)
Takes alot longer but keeps it dry!:D

[colintf]

I dont like (and so dont do it) pressure washing cars fullstop!

:cool:

todays rain has been beading beautifully, and left some lovely volcanic deposits :mad:

I'd sue Island to make them pay for a new detailing!:D

Same happened to me prior to an event a week ago - frantic last minute cleaning to get 'photo ready'

[black olive]

its not going anywhere this week so quick wash towel and fk1000 spritz should sort it. just hope the weather holds out at weekend- its a really good do if its sunny but an hour or two of rain kills the event. also dont want to hae to tarpaulin the stationary engine over .

[Pete]

Can I order any badges?

[Tim]

I've got these if interested. Three sheets left (one already cut out). A sheet has the big logo, 3 small ones, 2 xpower and two "It's a V8 thing"

Two held back for Pete and Jerry as they asked, if they don't want then.
