Today I did some detailing...

Washed the gtv for the first time in 6 weeks
Was absolutely filthy

Collinite is holding up well though, still getting nice beading on it since it was applied in September
Only downside to it is there's so much left and so many new waxes I want to buy

Jaysus 4 months!

JAMES VTI S · 17-01-2016 08:55PM

Everyone needs a clean undercarriage! Sorted with AutoGlym's Engine and Machine degreaser, a good scrub and a blast of the power hose.

Now detailing golf clubs

This was one my dad has had for a while. It was covered in scratches from grit gathering on the sleeve of the head cover. Like new now:

Quick wash with Bilt Hamber Auto Wash, Dry and top up coat of Collinite 845

Curran · 27-01-2016 04:29PM

Get out there and clean that windscreen! jezzzzz :P

SBPhoto · 27-01-2016 04:48PM

Funny Curran but the window was clean, had just rained and the street light caught it, looks bad but it wasn't dirty!!

MetzgerMeister · 27-01-2016 08:58PM

I don't believe you. Just admit it....you washed the whole car except for the windscreen.

Stallingrad · 28-01-2016 03:35PM

Lovely car, but what is the deal with those side skirts? Last time I saw such poorly integrate skirts was on a 1980's E28!

keano25 · 28-01-2016 03:42PM

De-tarred the car before going to Kerry for a few days.. Roads were absolutely shocking there.

This is only part of the car after I washed it.. Destroyed.

Curran · 28-01-2016 04:40PM

Is she a BMW F10?

keano25 · 28-01-2016 11:11PM

Sure is Curran.

JAMES VTI S · 29-01-2016 12:47AM

I got to play with this E36 today.

Nothing too intensive, just a hand 'Polish' and wax.

The wetter than wet look in the rain while I got wet myself.

Interior was grubby so I gave it a quick rubby

Curran · 29-01-2016 08:49AM

That 323i is a cracking machine - was so tempted to buy it when it was for sale last time out!

JAMES VTI S · 29-01-2016 09:01AM

They don't make them like this anymore, I starting to think cars build quality has dropped

They are standard on the S-Line, and i think the set the car of nicely.

MetzgerMeister · 29-01-2016 12:37PM

Is it the lighting or did the boot carpet go from yellow to grey???

Funny you should say that about the E36, early quality on them was very poor, they got better later into their cycle, but it was never one of BMW's best efforts.

Dog had it ruined with hair N grime/slobber but ya I guess the sun was in for that shot.

JAMES VTI S · 29-01-2016 02:01PM

IT'S just me but these feel more solid then modern cars

Was that directed at me? I know it is - but its a 323i

TheBigGreen · 29-01-2016 02:54PM

My interior could do with a good valet, hmmmmmmm!

JAMES VTI S · 29-01-2016 02:59PM

Won't that make it a 325? Or am. I missing something

323i and 325i are the same basic engine but the 325i would have small changes like bigger injectors, longer stroke etc.

JAMES VTI S · 29-01-2016 04:13PM

And bigger bore, I though the last two numbers represent the engine capacity in liters.
