    Fortunately the weather was dry today, so I spent the morning cleaning the outside of my car Cake

    First off,
    wash with Zymol shampoo,
    then Clay Bar the whole car,
    another quick wash with Zymol,
    dry with synthetic chamois,

    Apply Diamond Brite Stage 1 on all body panels
    Apply Diamond Brite Stage 2 ontop on stage 1

    Allow 30 mins to dry before buffing off.
    So while it was drying...
    I washed the wheels with TFR
    Dried the wheels with an old chamois
    Apply tyre shine
    Cleaned windows inside and out with Mr Muscle glass cleaner
    Scrubbed the dash, door cards, leather seats with interior shampoo

    Finally Buffed off the Diamond Brite wax with 2 Zymol Micro Fibre cloths.


    Took the car down to Greenwich park to take some photos.
    Hope you enjoy the pics! Big Smile


























    She's parked away in the garage now Cake


    Edit:
    Mod's done so far:

    AMD Stage 2 (Remap and Milltek silenced exhaust) 270bhp/270lbs torque, 7400rpm rev limit
    K/N panel filter
    Goodyear F1's (not a mod, but good tyres!)
    .:R logos on skirts
    Headlamp protectors (I polished out the black lines)
    US R32 drivers side grille 'open mesh'
    Passenger side lower grille hand cut to make it 'open mesh'
    Phillips cool blue side lights
    LRC100 Garage door opener
    drivers door lock delocked
    European spec rear lights
    Polo rear wiper arm
    Touran rear wiper blade
    Colour coded rear VW badge
    VW Sharan GPS stubby aerial (thanks Baker21 Cake)

    W8 light
    Blue LED reading lights
    SonyEricsson Bluetooth carkit
    Dension Icelink
    Beetle Sport alloy door pins
    Origin B2
    12v power socket in boot


    To come:
    Tinter's tints (still undecided on tint %)
    Uprated dogmount pendulum bushes
    Coilovers (maybe.. but house first!)

    That is VERY tasty, I love the little touches you've added.

    Is that the Triplex aerial you have and was it factory fitted?

    Sem:
    Yeah it's a triplex aerial for the Satnav (it was factory fitted)
    The stubby aerial is from a VW Sharan (and was donated by Baker21, thanks mate)
