majik_thighs Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Good news on my OB.................tried it down the drive this morning and after just a little scrapy squeak it`s now gone. Must have been grit between pad and disk, they`ve been doing a lot of road works here lately so possibly scree from their workings. I`ll get it up on my mates lift on Monday and make sure there`s nothing else. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I washed and clayed both XVs, hoovered, cleaned interior with shampoo, applied a carnauba wax sealant coat and finished off with a fine gloss wax. Simoniz blacked all the trim, cleaned the wheels, tyre blacked the tyres and finally cleaned all the glass inside and out. 4hrs in total. Now terrified to move them in case they get dirty [emoji3] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Same for me used the clay cloth but started a bit late I'm still doing it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This clay-cloth..is it a new thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'd not heard of it before until Salsa posted about it 1st. Easy as hell to use not as clumsy as the bar and get bigger coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I shall have to give it a try.......that is when i`m fully recovered from my surgery...........or when the wife`s at work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 To clay our 2 XVs used to take about an hour each, only took 40mins to do both. The free finishing glaze seems ok. Used it over meguairs carnauba wax. Have a nice streak free shine. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just making a gallery, haven't even moved her today, but Sunday looking good for a clay session [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Had a look at your gallery pics this evening....the white with the black body mouldings looks damn fine mate [emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I think so, but it seems it's a bit marmite, my wife thinks it looks a bit chavvy, whereas I just thought it looked a bit sporty. Hers is dark sparkle metallic grey with black trim and black wheels so it's a bit aggressive looking because it's all nearly black, looks nice but looks like a completely different car Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It's not chavy at all. I've spoken ..... Just don't tell your missus otherwise I will be forced to agree with her :) But I think it looks spot on myself it just brakes the colour up enough to give it some flair.

Gaulson Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Took a drive out to the lakes to do the Kankku self drive safari, 55km of off roading in an ex army Landy! Great fun and worth doing :) . Noticed a severe lack of Shell garages though, even BP didn't have Ultimate Unleaded :( . This week my car will be in for it's service and the other stuff on the list... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
