Today my mate`s grandad (Danneth) came round in his astra and was mentioning he would like to clean under the bonnet at some point...So me having time on my hands decided to have a little play...And forgot before pics.......Then decided to do the whole car........So here it is....













And before anyone says...I know i need to get a proper camers...

 

looks good as usual mate

 

looks good dude, bless him have you convinced him to buy an FRS yet?

 

Mat what do you use on the engine bay mate? mine could do with something happening

 

We are allready looking at them...

 

G101 agitated with a detailing brush then left to do it's job then jet washed off... Then dressed with engine detailer.

 

whats this g101 matt and can it bu used all over bodywork seems good stuff!

 

g101 sounds alot like TFR to me

 

G101 is autosmarts very own multi purpose cleaner,for wheel cleaning,arches,engine bays,etc.

Nice job on the astra Mat.

 

It works the same as TFR...But is less harmful and 10 times better..

 

Cracking job, the engine bay looks the nuts. Autosmart G101 added to shopping list. Which engine detailer did you use?

 

I used armourall on the hoses and wd40 on the plastics.

 

looks good mate but jetwashing any engine is risky as hell with the amount of electrical sensors they have, but especialy a ECOTEC (EVERY COMPONENT ON THAT ENGINES CRAP LOL) My advice would be to spray your engine bays with autoglym vynil and rubber care.......spray it allover, agitate with paintbrushes if need be, then wipe off with drying towels, if you require a really shiney finish then spray allover again n leave for half an hour before soaking excess of with a sponge

 

It's a risk I take mate... Have you ever thought about covering the components that suffer water when jet washing a engine bay... ?...it's a method a use alot and I've never had any dramas....

 

I've jetwashed loads of engine bays as I used to buy n sell fleet cars. The only trouble I had was with ecotecs as the water fills up where the spark plugs sit. I just used to remove the plugs and let the water go inside if they misfired after, worked ok for me

 

I wouldnt waste my time and cleaning stuff on a vauxhall lol.Only joking mate.WD40 is mint for cleaning hoses under the bonnet.

 

i hope you wore gloves before you touched "that make of car"

 

the company I work for had enviromental health and the waterboard in awhile back and they asked how we wash the trucks as the drains go straight into the reservoir and they have had two cases of contamination in the past few months,
my boss tried to cover it up but they see the huge drums of TFR in the corner of the yard.

basicly gave him a few words of advice and told him if they can proof he is washing then trucks on site we will be fined big time

 

matt ,


the kettles on anytime you want to vist lol

 

Danneth is your mates grandad ?, we finally have an answer as to why he drives a mazda the old c*nt

 

he could have worded it a little better couldn't he

on a side note just been round at mats and hes cleaning a lovelyyyyyy escort cossie off here

 

I knew what he meant dan, i just couldnt resist

 

that g101 is great stuff, a use alot of autosmart stuff on mine as a get a deal on it for usin it on ma show car and its defo great stuff

 

Have to say Matt, I've yet to see some of your handiwork that I haven't been impressed by !
