i want to clean the rallye for fcs you see and ive never really been one for polish or anything like that, well anyway my car was resprayed 2yrs ago and laquered aswell so what would be my best ( read cheapest ) option to get it nice and clean and maybe even a shine ?

[TomH]

You let down!!

The car rocks at track days looks like it has a purpose and is used / driven! Leave it how it is and bring it, prefeably with some well hammered tyres on :D

my 2p worth...

Otherwise good wash claybar and polish...

[semtex]

:o sorry tom , i nearly succumbed to this cleaning thing , i wont be claying cuz it looks like to much work lol ill just use some washandwax from asda then hahaha w00t:veryhappy:

[Miles D]

lol asda wash and wax. give her some love and attention james, the poor girl gets a good thrashing she deserves it:cheese:

wash it with something decent like autoglym shampoo, shammy it to get rid of the water marks then use auto glym super resin polish. u can buy the 2 in a pack for like a tenner and it comes with a sponge!!:grin:

then i should even be able to see the reflection of my car in your boot as im on your ass at FCS:rofl:

[semtex]

[Carl Gibson]

James get some G3 go over the whole car with it witch will take all the little scratches ect out and bring some real depth in the paint work then get some autoglym super resin polish and go over the car with the mop and it will be really shinny, work on my one and black is a bitch of a color to get mint...

[Tom J]

You've missed the point Darren. It's raining. Our cars are clean now :D

[TomH]

Yeah run out before it rains chuck some fairly liquid on it then let the rain do its trick :)

[semtex]

drove round for 30mins in torrential rain last night , its come a treat

[Tom J]

Don't forget to go for the big puddles for tyre dressing and underfloor cleaning.

[darrenwm]

Semtex, are you on the dating scene?

[Tom J]

That is a very funny post indeed.

[Ethro]

Don't forget to go for the big puddles for tyre dressing and underfloor cleaning.

after playing on the grass with some handbrake action, my car was covered in mud, hit a massive puddle at 40ish, and nearly lost my nice pro race ones....my god, ive never aqua-planed so bad in my life!!!

just send it to a detailer for a proper wash james, only cost like £50 lol then there is no effort on your behalf...

or get 3 step from megs for like £20 and then just have a day giving her some love :)

[semtex]

Semtex, are you on the dating scene?

lol not anymore Darren , im engaged to a lovely girl called lisa :veryhappy:

[darrenwm]

lol not anymore Darren , im engaged to a lovely girl called lisa :veryhappy:

In which case I wouldn't bother. A clean car is only essential when you're on the dating scene and want to impress. Girls love a fresh interior.

[semtex]

they must be impressed with your rack then , i see what you mean with regard to the dating scene neccesity of cleanliness but also i feel the need to make the car as presentable as i can do at fcs if im going to sell it on for a good price

[darrenwm]

The cleaner it is the higher the chance of a prospective buyer w00t'ing at you.

[semtex]

im so w00t right now woo hoo

[Miles D]

clean interior is essential for girls, and they hate no carpet and 'stupid' bucket seats!

james, your not selling it are you?:praise you:

[darrenwm]

james, your not selling it are you?:praise you:


I heard he was selling his engine and going 8v?

[Tom J]

My wife can't wait to have her bucket seat back, and her harness. She doesn't like being thrown about in the seats and is too short for the 3-points not to cut her in the neck. Need to get the harnesses back in or get a booster seat!!

[Miles D]

thats the first iv heard of that!:doh:

[semtex]

im re-evaluating my position as a home owner and soon to be dad and weighing up all options as to wether im going to need to free up some money , ive got to many toys as it is so i dunno, i probably wont sell it as i love it to bits literally bits though lol , things fall off now , oh well

[G-Dub]

I heard that Darren will clean your car for 3 myspace addresses of girls rated 7 and above?

[Bonnie]

Good man, love to see white shine :praise you::)

[semtex]

hopefully the whole car will shine soon which would be the first time in probably 3yrs lol :o:o:o bad really that i havent cared for the outside of the car at all really :o

[Bonnie]

It's not a bad thing but it's good protection and makes life a lot easier when you clean it again as the dirt will come off more easily :)

[eddy6]

i dont think my eyes are seeing this james i cant believe u have cleaned it, must have been the shame of being the only dirty car at the last regional lol gotta say that shine looks good tho mate

[semtex]

it was the same ryan plus fcs is about putting your car on show not looking like its just been down the road at a farm lol like mine did
