My cars a right mess at the moment and from now until Sunday (On and off) I'll be cleaning it until there's not a spec of dirt/ dust in sight.

Everything from the inside, outside, wheels off and 'wonder-wheeled', engine bay, boot.

Hoping the clay kit will be here in time for the weekend as it's never been clayed before.

Will post piccies of the progress as I go.....

Nice one Tom, don't forget to keep the clay in the old trouser pocket while you're washing the car... means you don't have to spend yonks mauling it to soften it Also, plenty of spray, job's a good'un m8

[Autovaleter]

good luck m8, if you get stuck with anything give me a shout and I'll try and help(advice only I'm afraid as I'm too far from you to do it for you).So do you remember the steps to do it in m8 ????.
Also heres a handy hint for you when claying the car, pinch an old bath towel from your mother and place it below the panel that your claying, cause believe me you will drop it and if and when you do it'll only land on the towel and not the floor as if that happens it's only fit for the bin then.
I hope this helps tom.
I I want loads of pics.

Cheers for the tips guys.

Pics are on their way now (Only before pics though I'm afraid).....

Err.. no thanks.

Well... I made a start this afternoon.

I took my subs out the boot, emptied all the crap out of footwells, doorcards etc.

....Then gave up... it's dark!!

Here's a taster of what I have to deal with over the weekend.... Pics don't do it much justice tbh- it really is in a state at the moment....

Engine bay:











Interior (Yes my gear stick looks w%nk; I can't get the rest of the bloody knob off to fit the new one :sad_smile:

















Got this to fix also (Need a little clip):



Need to sort out my boot as the subs keep going all over the place. Plus, it's got loads of crumbs n stuff in there lol:



They should be sitting (and staying!), like this:



^^Some velcro should do the trick just nicely for now.

..................

Wheels will be coming off and getting a good 'Wonder-wheeling' as they are filthy inside and out:






.................

As for the outside, the car had a good handwash last week so not as bad as it has been in previous weeks (Still dirty though!)

It's not had a polish in a few months.

It's NEVER been waxed or clayed before, so I'm hoping for the best finish I've ever seen on my car this time round.

Here's some pics of some of the paintwork at the moment:









Windows (And my ugly mug):



These will be getting thoroughly cleaned inside and out, then polished inside & out too.

I might also remove the rear wind deflectors because they are not doing anything for me. The front ones have purpose to me whereas the rears don't:
