Evening all,

Few pics from Friday then of Matt's Elise. The car, in my opinion, was totally transformed, But I will let Matt comment on whether i'm telling the truth or not!!!

Enjoy:-

Transformed is an understatment to be fair - looks like new. Seriously tempted to take it off the market as it doesn't seem to be worth selling it now...

Big thanks to Ally for fitting me in at the very last minute and doing such a great job - have been singing your praises round the office and there's a few more interested parties up this neck of the woods (not least me for the Exige now)

Don't really have any 'before' pictures but Ally tok a couple to demonstrate as he went along;

To be fair, this really didn't look as bad as it does here (did it??)


Half the inside done (guess which half)


Apologies for the crazy old neighbour (she left us an answering machine message that night ) but I'm sure she understood when you didn't fell the tree and carry it away with you Maybe next time?

Only drawback I can see is that I'm now really pi55ed off with the stone chips (that never used to bother me). Lynne took it to work today and a bird sh4t on it - guess who got sent straight back out this evening to clean it off again She wasn't impressed...

Never thought I would turn into a polisher...

To give a few more details as it was quite funny at the time, I was subject to a residents meeting whilst working on Matt's car, it was decided that having a gleaming white van in the car park was bringing down the tone of the area.............so I had to move!!

She then started complaining to me about the tree in the drive, how it was pulling the wall down, and I really should do something about it....

Sorry for not taking down the falling tree whilst I was there, I had Scotty's to get to!

Your card is marked with her Matt, she mentioned something about a horses head and having a key for your place.................

Thanks for the comments people, most encouraging

Ally,

What did you use to clean the corrugated footwell/floor bits? I can never get them to clean properly.

You missed a bit Ali..... the discs are all rusty man, what are you thinking get the brillo out!!

Cillit Bang?

Id like to know too, used a tooth brush which didnt work too well.

Details here guys... Ali's post is further down the thread

I use a mix of Autosmart products for this, namely Tardis and Ali, This stuff is mega concentrated so only needs a tiny drop as per the guidelines!!!

The Autoglym wheel brush that you can pick up from Halfords works wonders, but really the trick is in the chemicals, you can see it just lifting the dirt with each spray. After its worked in, i get the wet sooky hoover out and pick it all up, chemical and waste,

I then give it a spray with Autosmart Brisk cleaner, this has added brighteners so gives a really great finish.

Leaves the results you see on all of my lotus posts now, just fantastic (IMHO).

P.S talking about concentrated chemicals, got a new TFR today, concentration level? 1 part chemical, 100 parts water!!!!

HTH
