Erm not crud, its more abrasive than say the Meguires NTX polish. My dishes are pretty new so NTX was fine for them. If you had some pretty dull dishes id start with Autosol for a more abrasive start, then change the NTX after to give the final finish.

Thanks!

Rebuilt my damaged wheel yesterday. I was dreading splitting it from the horror of doing them last time, but it went really well this time round lol!

Bolts out, barrell cleaned and new dish in place ready to bolt down and seal-

New chromed bolts-

Finshed and sealed ready for the tyre to go back on-

26mm stubby valve fitted-

Got the other two wheels left to do over the weekend hopefully

No real updates... Oscar and 12yan came round to give the car the kiss of life lol

And I really need a bigger, heated garage!!

Should have my last wheel back at the weekend waiting to have the tyre put on, then can move the car, get it back on the axel stands and drop the engine and gearbox mounts off

Nice work on the wheels...looking good! How easy is it to put the front bumper on? I'm getting one sprayed next week, and was just wondering if I could save myself some money and fit it myself.

Cheers dude, very easy to do the bumper. Jack up, remove wheels, remove archliners, two bolts under the tow eye covers, two at the top by te grill and two that are a bit awkward near the headlights you have to reach in quite far from under the arch. Takes 30 mins tops.

I'll be attempting it next weekend all being well Cheers for the help!

Cleaning is a weird thing. I mean I was cleaning things with those cotton buds for your ears a few weeks ago. I don't like cleaning, but once you get into it you just want things to be perfect. Cotton buds was a new low for me.

Alex you know I love your car

Have just read all the way from 2009/2010
