Heavy cleaning day!

[Dominitry]

It's no secret i clean the car every 3 days but today as it was first time all week the weather was ok i thought i would go all out, all faded bits such as window surround, rear spoiler, side trims, rear and front bumper trims, washer jet nozzles, plastic surrounds on door looks and side repeaters, door pillars have all got some loving and are now looking brand new again, heavy duty glass cleaner used for ages as theres nothing like crystal clear windows, tyres also had some love and also look brand new and finaly a full car polish, heres pics..





Spoiler looking brand new again...



Engine cleaned, still not happy..









I really need to get some new 70mm wheel badges for the center caps.

I have no idea lol, oem part but you hardly ever see one, bought it from a zoner...god i love this place!

[eko]

that looks awesome mate,good on ya
just polished mine today too,but it doesnt look as good as yours

[E30BeemerLad]

Craig, your car looks absolutely stunning.

Really anal this, but in the interest of engine bay tidyness, are you able to route the wire that connects to your idle control valve underneath the air flow meter? Just helps to keep the spagetti as minimal looking as possible. Just a daft thought

Yea i'll tuck it under when i eventualy get around to getting a new one.

[Geeman]

And to make it even more perfect, replace the washer resevoirs and coolant tank with new ones... will make so much difference!

Looks bloody good already though!

Nah, that'd be cheating. He handwashed every stone individually

The same as in the pics mate, admit my camera does make a car look better with my custom settings (darker light, white balance lowered) but this was taken in auto, no camera tricks just 5 hours of hard work..

[bmwe30mtech]

[Dominitry]

Yea i bought the steering wheel off some dude who's more obsessed with keeping a car clean than i am lol

It is a good feeling though yea, im getting really bad though everytime i see seagulls flying around im looking out the window every 10 seconds, i think pretty soon i'll be in my window with an air rifle picking the bastards off one by one! lol
