Just got back from my travels yesterday, so there was about an inch of dust and plant debris on my car. I was out of Tripplewax shampoo, so nipped to Asda for a few car cleaning products. Got a carrier bag full of tins, magic potions and enough micro-fibre cloths to make a patch work quilt. There was an offer on the T-Cut and Car Polish - 4 quid for the lot.
Then I spent the next 3 hours washing, drying, T-Cutting and polishing the Zed. The paintwork has looked a little tired for some time. Namely because I bought a cheapo car cover (before I got my targas fixed) that scratched all the paint above the wheelarches. Anyway, I could not believe the transformation - I'd forgotten what brilliant stuff T-Cut was! The paint looks a million times better now - as anyone with a black car knows - it looks great when it's wet, but then dries a slightly lighter shade and looses it's shine. But not anymore! Really pleased and will probably delay a respray another 12 months or so (there are still a few areas where even the T-Cut couldn't help).
I'd put some pictures up, but the weather is piss poor again - so when the suns out I'll get on it.
Peach - if you read this buddy, I need some help with my alloys now - as they're letting the show down!! Drop me a PM if you have any free time coming up!
Anyway, the car looks as well as it goes now! Cannot tell you how nice it was to get behind the wheel and put my foot down again! Happy days! :thumbup:
Well, nearly!
