Got the clay out today, god I hate cleaning the car with a pasion. Makes me feel sick as I get to see every bloody stone chip, crack, defect or blemish on my 1 year old painwork.

 

Have decided to have teh front painted and repeat this every 2 years.

tell me about it mate

i gave mine a full going over inside and out when i first got it and found loads of japanese coins and papers under the seats and carpets

worth the effort tho you cant beat the looks of a zed but a shiny one and im sporting a semi lol

im not im sporting an "why did I bother" expression.

 

Honestly Ive spent close to 30-35K on this car and my year old paint looks like its 10 years old ffs. I was going to spend another 5-8K on it but you know what. I just cant be assed anymore.

I had the worlds worst paint job to mine, sprayed about 2 years ago driven only 6 months since then and rear quarter has a blemish the rest is like sand paper really rough. they didn't sand the doors down with a fine grain you can see the harsh grain scratches. ummm there are bubbles which the heads are getting knocked off leaving white marks everywhere and some really random marks on the top. and runs in a couple of places.
