Default washed my mk3 xr3i

I gave my escort mk3 xr3i a good wash today.

I used 6 steps from mequiars.

1. wash
2. wash with the clay bar
3. handle with the paint cleaner
4. handle it with the scratch x
5. polish it.
6. wax it.


pictures will say enough
washed it.. but was already getting dark so the pics are a bit dark.



the clay bar





the paint cleaner





the scratch x



the polish





the wax






end at the end some random pics of the end result








what do you think?

Yes it are the Capri Pepperpots.

And no there are no spacers on it. It's the original offset of the wheels.

Everybody is saying as first. damn you got big tyres on it.. "No I don't there only 185...

Thanks for the comment mate

I like the germanstyle also but sometimes it's a pain in the ass when you have to be in the middle of the town with all the speedbumps :-(

My RST will be complete different. with 17" rims on it. as it is only cause I can't place smaller as 16" with the new brakes....
