Final Pre-Winter Clean

[clarkeeuk99]

Hi All,

Just thought I'd post about my final pre-winter clean before Vee hibernation.

#74 has actually been tucked away since the end of August, due to timings of summer holidays and work being so busy so it's going to be a long old hibernation! Anyway, the car was clean before it went in, but I figured I'd re-wax it and make sure it's perfect before the weather turns.

List of things done were:
Light wash
Wax
Made sure every alloy wheel corner is dirt free
Door shuts & door hinge paint cleaned.
Boot shuts & under spoiler cleaned
Underneath of side skirts cleaned
Glass polished

So I was about to re-plug the trickle charger back in, when I realised how filthy the underneath of the bonnet was! I gave it a good clean and a buff up with some quick detailing spray wax, and it looks great!

I didn't take a load of pictures of the Vee as I was unable to get it out of the garage given that the heavens opened all day long yesterday so all the work was done inside the garage.

I did take a quick snap of the clean underside of the bonnet though in case it inspires anyone else to do it too

Not the most exciting post I know, but still some pics

Phil.

Looks good pal. Moving house at the moment but intend to do this to all 3 cars before covering over.

Thanks Matt.

It's nice to know that the cars are now tip top

Hope all is well with you and the family.

All good this end, just waiting for bump to pop out. Scared Caroline the other day by asking if we can get a baby seat for the Atom!!!

Looks great when its all nice and clean under there! :approve: i like to clean these bits too, even though no one else will see them. Its nice to know its all clean under there.


Looking at pic 3, first time ive noticed some ph1/ph2 differences ive never seen before.

The hex bolts on the ph2 are body coloured! They are black on a ph1.

Also, it looks like theres one bolt missing toward sthe bottom, but there isnt. This is true for all other of ph2s i could find photos of.
However, there is a bolt in that hole on all ph1s. :geek:

Good bits of info to know!

I guess that makes me a geek for also finding that interesting....

Looking good Phil..! I've not even looked at mine since Montlhery. Was hoping to give it some pampering over the weekend too, but work on Saturday and rain on Sunday put a stop to that lol. Still, there's always this weekend!! [cmilie=iconcheers.gif]
