  • My New Car - Another Renault Clio

    Hiya

    After recently selling the Clio thought I best get some new pictures up of its replacement and what I have done so far. Unfortunatley no befores as my mum had gone of with the camera, what I do have is a picture of the car we picked it up in (see below).

    My Last Car:


    The Golf was clean before we left:


    Wheels and Tyres:
    AS Tardis
    APC
    AG Engine and Machine Cleaner (on the spare)
    Gold Class Shampoo
    Various Brushes
    Megs Clay and QD
    Megs Cleaner Wax
    Collinite 476S

    Arches:
    APC
    AG Engine and Machine Cleaner
    Dressed with Vinyl and Rubber Care

    Wash and Dry:
    APC
    TBM
    Washmitts
    GC Shampoo
    Megs MF
    AS Tardis

    Clayed:
    Megs Quik Clay and QD (took two hours as didn’t want the clay going solid in cold weather and was regularly checking the clay to prevent any marring)

    Polish and Wax:
    AG SRP
    Megs GC

    Tyres:
    Megs Trim Detailer followed by Hot Shine (lasting really well)

    Trim:
    Megs Trim Detailer.
    I am going to hopefully carry out correction soon now the temperatures are improving, and also deciding on a change from Collinite for a LSP, My idea at the moment is probs Zaino ZFX’d but any suggestions are welcome as this is my first black car.

    After a Wash:




    Spare Wheel:










    Onto the Alloys:














    After applying the Tardis to the car, some of this must have misted onto the window as when the wipers passed it was terribly smeary. So I taped of the edges, got out the PC with a Sonus SFX 1 spot pad and Rain-X Glass Cleaner Compound and broke the window down into sections, I cannot recommend this product enough it does a superb job and produces almost no dust at all. Protected with Rain X Repellent.





    Some greasy marks as I passed the window with a damp MF.









    Some Afters:




























    Thanx For Looking

            Had it a few years now, its getting pretty rare now, i got it from Tesco (large UK Supermarket), i will have to check out Asda see if they have it (believe Asda is our equivalent of Walmart). Ive had a search about and only places ive found are both in EU





            a product id like to try is this but Cant get it over here.

            Sorry for any confustion, just put the golf in to show how bad it looked on its return from the dealers (was 130 miles) and it looked similar to the golf.

                quite, it stayed in that appalling state for a week, i had to get mine looking good (how selfish of me), the parents have taken it on holiday today so will probably be coming back even worse

                    Wow, fantastic job with the wheels - especially the spare one!! The Clio looks really good.
                    BTW, you are the first Englishman I know to own a French car.

                        Great work on everything. Those tires and wheels really came out great. Way to go.

                          Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!

                            Car looks great. I noticed that you have tape around the bottom of your Porter Cable. I am new to this, so is there a reason for doing this?
