Very nice job mate. But by fook you need to get laid

 

i like a clean car, and i do thanks

 

looks great but fuck all that cleaning lol, sometimes give my car a polish and dry it off but thats that lol

 

very nice and what a good job you have done...

 

looks tidy, I'm anal about cleaning my BM as well, just started buying 'products', by god it takes ages but well worth it I got some poorboys wheel sealant and it seems like good stuff, and some dodo juice red mist for the body and wheels as a wax 'top up' need to get some proper wax paste though for the winter coming!

 

Good to hear you're getting into it Davy. Poorboys wheel sealant is by far the best product I've ever used on a car. Have coated all my alloys from brand new with it and i've never had a problem with brake dust marks

OP - Looks like you did a great job with the cleaning. White cars can be a real pain to get mint, but yours has come up well.

 

Looks very nice mate


Brian

 

nice job there mate.

and the werkstat is a cracking bit of kit!

 

that looks lovely mate

 

it is indeed (I'm -kev- from DW )
thanks for the nice comments guys

 

Ah yes found your way on here too

remeber you saying now u was planning on getting a fez.

 

Good write up mate and great results

 

Top job.

 

yeah, i had a panther black fiesta ST before the ZS but the ST was just costing me too much to run - as good a car as it was even in standard form

 

thanks guys

 

Rich you gotta remember the lads n lasses on DW love this kinda cleaning and would not do it any other way, the results achieved are mega and can protect the paint for 2-3 months easy. I tell ya i joined DW and have been hooked on cleaning like this ever since.

Good write up Kev

 

thanks andy certainly an expensive hobby at times too
