Default Is this the first dry Saturday this year?
Hopefully the weather holds out for me to finish the job..

Its been a while since it was washed last due to crappy weather



New foam Lance!!, PH neutral 2x pumps, 3 caps of chemical guys tar/bug remover and 3 caps of Meguires NXT advanced ph neutral stuffz.


This is just 1/3rd of the boot


Back to work now will update later/tomorrow when finished

Nearly there, 1 more coat of wax on the front half, and the windows and interior left to do! .. nearly back to normal!


And all done, light fading now going to go rest my busted back!

I do use it gets driven every week at least once or twice, it had done an awful lot of miles without a proper clean due to the crap weather, Other than a blast off at the local shell station pressure wash (NO BRUSH OR SUCH CARNAGE!) I reckon that's about 1k miles worth of crap on it including a fair bit of winter salt hiding in places underneath etc

I fold the bars in on themselves and re use a couple of times until it starts to not look white and clean any more on the newly folded surface, once there like that there reserved for wheels etc, (old bars rims/new bar body).

the single track lane that runs over the top of the hill to Worthing is great fun! but its often 1" thick with mud.. which although makes for good fun sliding around and what not, it also makes for a very muddy scoob

That clay is shocking. Did you use anything after the foam i.e fresh water and sponge or go straight to the clay bar.

No, it had a 2 bucket wash with meguires ntx /lambs skin mitt etc, the back was just plastered in tiny tar spots :s, I even removed the worst with a microfibre cloth and wd40! Using quick detailer in between to clean up (It was really bad!) will clay the rest and get polishing tomorrow

If someone said to me what is my perfect idea of a scoob to buy next, that is it. Love the way the wheels work with the colour and the way it sits. Nice one
