My NB RS

Is there a limit to the number of times you can clean and coat? ?

[paulie]

I’m trying to hold back on polishing mine as I have another 11 weeks off!

[stu-c]

Yeah, cleaned 2 cars and bored now. That said, if I send the Mrs out for 10 mins, I can guarantee it’ll come back like she’s been to a rainforest in Borneo.

Evening pal!! So happy to FINALLY see all those parts getting fitted to the RS mate!!

And……. she’s looking F**KEN MINT pal!! I wish I had the car cleaning knowledge that some of you lads have??!! ??. I’ve never been a big cleaning guy.. I prefer to work on them and drive them!! Yeah, I can keep her clean and looking good but NOT to the levels that some of you guys take it!!

I feel my baby is needing some serious TLC shortly so that she’s looking her best come summer time…… I just find it hard coz she’s left for 3 weeks minimum in Aberdeen and when I pick her up the brakes are GRINDING LIKE F**K and she’s just a mess!! I still LOVE her tae bits though!! Not sure which smile is the biggest……. the smile when I get back inside her or the smile when I get back inside the wife?? Haha… ????????.

Cheers, Marc.

@brembo ??… Evening mate.. Its all youtube knowledge…. It ruined me having a black XR2i as a first car, flat out cleaning it all the time.. Always done it normally in works time, when i was continental shifts ?

All the back end being done the next few days, if the sun’s out… and a full DIY service on the drive… Oil filter, fuel filter, Transfer box oil, gearbox oil, new brake lines & brake fluid… Just busting to be out in it!. Smashed passed the plod in a transit end of last week getting some bread & milk, bet they were well happy with the straight pipe pops & bangs…????

This lock down situation is mental tho! I’ve even rainX’d the entire house and all the glass in the garden! The wife cannot believe its taken a world wide pandemic to get me to finish my garden lights… 11 years is not that long for a sparky?? ?

Hope all is well up with you ?

[GM]

@paulie I’m going though it in mental detail… we sill have a few factories working, but I’m only doing urgent stuff at mo…

@stu-c think even the van its going to have a full going over! Went right round the house and garden glass with Gtechniq G6 & rainX… My wife thinks I’ve gone even more nut’s ?

[GM]

Shite times, but at least I’m spending lots of time on the car!

Finished front end seal and protect.. after wire brushing and cleaning…..

[GM]

Oil change, and give the K&N oil filter a go… Same cost as normal ford

[GM]

Loving the mat black but each time i open the bonnet i have to get the dust off ?

[bobcat]

@GM, hard work is paying off, thanks for the updates.
