No way dude its proper filthy. Just starting jet wash oh car. Couple of other things I've done are de rust battery tray and spray with same paint on manifold shield. Also sprayed intercooler with aluminium spray.

Wheels look proper shiny!! Brakes look awesome :-D and engine bay is more respectable now.

Jet wash in 1 hand & phone in the other, you really do know how to multitask!!

How did you de-rust your brakes need to do mine to!
 
Just finished. Yup ten straight hours of spraying, cleaning and detailing.

Damn she looks nice :-)

Can't wait to see all your hard work in the metal well done. Hope I make it and car does also...

Hours later, after pressure wash, two bucket, clay'd, Mag's Ultimate Compound, AG SRP, AG Extra Gloss Protection (I was going to put the EGP on top of Colinte but was running out of energy!), AG Glass Polish. I will detail the blacks at JAE.

The aftermath. Loads of stuff to clear up in the back garden too!

Well done Edvardo top quality work right there I'd have done mine today had I not been laid up in bed. But hopefully the antibiotics will enable me to make JAE and see this beast looking all pretty...

Can I drop mine of to be done? I'll give you a Yorkie and a pack of Quavers.

Seriously though you are a cleaning demon! well done Sir. Well done.
 
I think it's been building up mate. I haven't had any will to do anything like this before, no more than a quick wash every now and then. But with the bumpers completed, buying a few tick parts I love, and a full JAE to look forward to it's brought back the love for the car hence getting a bit more motivation :)

It's great, it feels like the days when I had the grey car again!

An HGV? Urm, prob not onto the field area lol i think that goes a little bit beyond the 'service vehicle' type.
