Think about this, you swirl the applicator pad on the top of the paste and very often it can build up to thick on the area that you start with. Don't try to tell me that it's never happened anyone that has used 476 because the truth is, it has happened us all :P
And yes, I do lift
I'll lift your head off your shoulders with a box :pac:0 -

Today I finished the car:D:D
So I started today by cleaning the other 3 wheels. I didn't put any more EGP on the body, just left it at the 3 coats.:)
I then hoovered the interior and gave the seats a quick wash. To wash the seats I dissolved a bit of normal washing powder for clothes etc in a spray bottle. Spray the detergent onto the seats. Quick rub with an interior brush, hoover off. I have a Lidl wet and dry hoover which comes in handy! I didn't take any pictures of this because I'm sure that you've all seen hoovering before :P:P
I took a bit of extra care cleaning the steering wheel. Over time the red stitching had collected a lot of dirt and had lost it's bright red colour and when you looked closely you could see the dirt ground into it.
Before
After
The next thing after that was to apply back to black to all the exterior trim including the wiper arms, window rubbers, door and boot seals and various other pieces of trim.
BLAAAAAAAAKKK
And then finally it was done! Here's the after pictures you've been waiting for!!!!
And it was dark :P. Proper after photos tomorrow folks

Be sure to post "proper" after shots tomorrow, or when there's a break in the weather......probably need a wash again when that comes about!
Will do!JAMES VTI S wrote: »Steam on the steering wheel stitching ;-)
I don't have a steam cleaner so I just used a bit of APC and a brush. Still came out well 0 -

Nice to see a minded jap sports car for a change.
Thanks man
I should be able to repair the wheel tomorrow and the mechanic is getting in an exhaust mount so that should be done this week 0 -
I respect a person when they keep the car as it should be, modding is good but to a point big stupid wheels, low to the ground, camber to the sky ECT ECT ECT ......... it's so boaring
The same recipe again and again and again on and on and on, why make a car into something it's not and never will be.
