Serious wtf! Teach me! My car is the same colour and it's covered in scratches and chips
Also just cleaned my car and fitted a new boot handle that's not snapped

Nothing to teach...give it a try, seriously.
I just try whatever I'm doing myself like...I'm obviously only sharing whatever I think works!!
I'm finishing my micra blog shortly and I'll maybe do a "how I do detailing" guide in a separate blog...its just experiments I guess, might not be that much use to anyone!
Please do a guide, that would be awesome!
my car is roooough and needs sorting out!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Did some more engine heads done and in with cams in, water pump is on flywheel and clutch on dizzy on.
Checked the compresion just by hand for a rough guide and got them all to 50 ish, will check again before I start it int the car will take some more pics after
Tommorow I need to give the cover a quick clean inside then put that on and ht leads an plugs need to take sump off again to sort dipstick tube out. Will also clean gearbox up and paint that and do some work on the manifolds and clean them up and paint em and fit them.
Throttle body needs cleaning up and new maf sensor putting in. No dount theres a load more but its nice that I keep looking in tubs and there all starting to be empty again stacked em all so getting more space back as I got

Passable, or already passé?

I want one so badly but there not cheap... Which one did you get?
Found my Micra's front rattle, pre cat heatshield, safe to take off? Just after the manifold.
Good stuff, when it's cooled down a bit it shall go!
Are you serious, I'd put that in a glass case and put it on display. People would pay to look at that!!!!I think engine Is finished lol need to get get the car ready to accept it and do the starter, alt, throttle body and manifolds
Tried out my new machine polisher
And then did this!

I've got Meguairs Quik Detailer, it's like a liquid quick wax, it's really good for getting the car shiny without polishing again
Not tried any other Meguiars stuff though.. ExpensivoSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
true. I have some quick mist polish stuff. isn't bad for a quick clean up but doesn't last. I'll have to have a mooch about and see what's good at what kinda prices!I've got Meguairs Quik Detailer, it's like a liquid quick wax, it's really good for getting the car shiny without polishing again

She had 63k on the clock when I picked her up, December 2009.
so I've done 20,000 miles with her so far.
between August 2012, and August 2013 I did very few miles, as for 9 months within that year I had no job.
been doing more miles recently though as my workplace is 10 miles away, twice what the old one was ^_^
Gosh I used to do 200 a week getting to work and back, plus 300 a week getting to the bfs and back. But now I live 3 miles from work so I've cut down
