First Pics Posted Of My Car

[BIGRED]

Hi all

Well the easter weekend went and the weather was quite nice so i decided to clean the car, took over 7 hours! (no joke!)

Washed it with triple wax then dried it off with a chamois and then began the graft x1 coat of t-cut colour retorer (buffed on), x1 coat of turtle wax, x1 coat of turtle gloss guard polish to seal it all in, Back to black simmons trim restorer, simmons black tyre shine spray, and finaly the wonder wheels (phew!)

My arms hurt like hell but it was well worth the effort :D

Really nice. very elegant.

Nice job

[Demonic Angel]

Good job

Very nice, but it has the same problem as every other silver car.... They always look clean and never truly develop a 'deep' gleam or shine. Shame really since there's so many silver cars! Black's best for gleam!

Well done on the effort though... all the back to black bits look exceptionally clean!

Smart Ya gotta take your time on a good "car wash". I get into a bit of zen mode when I'm washing the car!

I see you removed the plates. Whether or not that is to avoid people seeing your reggie, after near severing my finger on the edge of my front number plate last weekend (sharp as a bl***y razor ) while cleaning mine, I think I might follow your lead. I just did the rinse, wash, rinse, dry, wax but it still looked sweet. Only thing is, I found another damn paint chip. :(

seveer unaek: Very good point about the silver... Mines sort of silver and looks clean until you touch the surface and disturb the road film, and black looks suhweet when done well.

A very nice job on the car, looks super sweet! Your hard work has truly paid off! :)

[Special Red]

Yeah but its an Avensis! Taxi!

I like Celicas but not going to join the I love Toyotas band wagon! Nice and clean tho!

[Karma Supra]

The point of that post was?????? There are people that might think a Sillycar GT is an underpowered FWD hairdressers car, but they wouldn't say that if you posted a pic of your pride and joy lovingly cleaned!!

BIGRED It looks like you are as fussy as me about cleaning cars!!! Good work! Always nice to see a car that looks loved!

It could be for the same reason that I have my forum name Kim........................................It's all rather confusing :D

[reece]

Looks great

But you've missed a bit

[knightrider]

very tidy avensis there, love the addititions on it too,

[BIGRED]

Thanks for your kind words (mostly) everyone :P

Always makes me feel better when other people appreciate all my hard work

I was given the name BIGRED from a mate at work and so ive addopted it ever since, i think he made up the name because im well built and a red head ;)

[Kev Mc]

Looks absolutely immaculate, I don't think I've spent 7 hours cleaning my car in total since I got it 18 months ago so hats off for the effort

Very shiney Les, but I still agree with seveer unaek, nothing shines like a gloss non metalic black :D

Polish as I hard as I like, I could see myself in my grey car like a mirror, but it never shows the same deep rewarding shine as a black...

That said, silver is a lot easier to keep clean and hides paint imperfections far better!!!!!!!!

Black pearl can shine quite nicely too... for 16 year old paint ;)

[Demonic Angel]

Dark blue looks gorgeous as well.... ;)
