Finally had time today to give my motorsport its summer spruce. Started off with autoglym hood cleaner and protector. Washed and leathered. Cleaned the wheels and then on to the slow part. Clay bar'd the whole car and the HD wax'd it. Finished off with glass polished and then tyres dressed...

Looks perfect!

What's wrong with the door cards, and what to do you plan to do with them, to get them sorted?

They have a few 'marks' or 'discolourings' on them. A man I know who treated my seats (was black bubble leather) can spray or coat them in this special 'stuff'. A tad financially embarassed this month so maybe next month....

Mate that is very nice indeed. In the best colour too. :cool:

Slowly doing my Summer spruce. What did you think to the Autoglym roof stuff - tried it on mine and wasn't that impressed with the results.

I must say I'm a big fan of autoglym products but wasn't to impressed with the roof cleaner kit...I do rate the clay bar / detailer kit....

Absolute stunner mate. Would love to pop down and see it sometime. When my sport is done (one day..) we'll have to organise a motorsport photo shoot.

Car is lovely. :cool:

So its not just me with the cleaner. Agree Autoglym generally good stuff - my Motorsport cab has SRP with about 3 coats of extra gloss protection on the top.

Bet it looks even better in the flesh. Photos don't show Macau off to its very best.

Can someone tell me why the photos I post are so small and other people's look bigger. I selected the recommended size that the zone requests!!! (I think) :o: (320X240)

320x240 is small! I think the forum will re-size photo's for you so there's no need to re-size them on the image hosting site you use. But if you do want to re-size them to a useful size, I'd recommend 800x600. I don't bother personally because they always get re-sized by the forum!
