Newbies first clean

[R1CHV]

Hi All,

picked up my STR on Monday night. Spent all week unable to clean it and getting frustrated at the grubbiness. Finally spent the afternoon giving it a good wash down  and vac out. She hasn't come up bad at all. I'm a bit of a self confessed detailer so this is the first of many sessions to bring her up to a good std. I also have a list of minor mods to personalise her a bit. Regards

Looking good, Richard.

I am very enamoured of the s Type  -  I wanted one in 1965!

Even SWMBO says how clean mine is!

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Richard.

Car is looking much better now it's been cleaned. Which snow foam do you use and how is it performing?

Cheers

Hi Joe, 

As mentioned earlier i have OCD - obsessive compulsive detailer, had to take plates off to clean the whole rear panel as it's the first wash plus I've got a private reg to go on it so was using it as a template for the new one., cheers

Hi Mark, 

this was a code product I was trying from a friend, it worked quite well, I usually use a cherry snow foam by auto Rae-chem which works fine. Cheers, Rich

Hi Richard.

Not heard a lot about auto Rae chem products, always interested in people's opinions of products though. I've been using Bilt Hamber auto foam, very good at shifting winter crud..

Mark, I took a punt on it as it was reasonably priced on eBay. Run it at 5:1 for best results.

Sweet looking car. Did you apply wax or sealant?

Hi. This was just a quick wash down. Will be hitting it with some megs 105/205 and hexlogic pads. Usually wax with AG HD wax. This is my first black car and considering the poorboys black hole too.

Hi Rich,

A good friend of mind has had great results on his black metallic paint using Black Hole under Zymol Carbon.
