  • My Mums New Car

    Hiya

    This is a quick tidy up I did on my mums new car from yesturday (i could start a dealership at my house this is now vehicle No. 7), The car is a Citroen C3 1.6 Exclusive. The process was pretty simple as I started in the evening this didn’t allow for too much work.

    Sorry no befores but it wasn’t that bad.

    Started out cleaning the wheels, which are if im honest a bit of a nightmare as the spokes have that narrow gaps between then and there are about 20 spokes. Products used were Megs Hot Rims, and brushes and sponges. It also used up a whole bucket of shampoo.

    On to the Car, washed with 2BM and a washmitt. No need to dry as I went straight on to Megs Quik Clay and Dried with MF’s.

    At this point my Dad Came out to help an his choice of wax was Autoglym SRP which seems to hide the light swirling he did the whole car in the time it took me to wax the Alloys with Collinite 476s, which I also applied to the car after the AG SPR.

    Tyres dressed with Megs Hot Shine and Trim and Rubber a Sonus Protectant (eclipse I think).

































    Thanks for looking

            Nice job. I think 3fitty should buy one of those. You can buy a shoe horn to get the family in.

              I say that when I get in patrol cars (not being arrested mind you) and I say I need a shoe horn and crisco!

              Nice car indeed.

                    The car looks nice and clean. They ought to bring some of those Criteons over "the pond" with the steering fixed of course. What kind of mpg/kpl?
