Some TLC for the Evo

[Spirit]

Unusually for me, have spent several hours recently giving the Evo some tlc.

Here's what's be done:

1: Snow foamed using Valet Pro PH neutral
2: Washed using Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo.......even using the 2 bucket method !
3: Wheels sealed with Poorboys wheel sealant
4: Poorboys Black Hole applied
5: Poorboys Nuttys wax applied

So, for that brief few hours when a black car remains clean, pics were taken:

Looks good! Just waiting for that lowering now :p

What is that building with all the massive pipes coming off of it???

Very nice. And yup black cars are a GIANT pain in the arse to keep looking clean. At this rate im going to be washing mine twice a week to keep it looking good

It won't be happening !

Already replaced the standard suspension with the Bilstein setup from a MR, and perfectly happy with it both on road and track /yes

It's the new electricity power station near where I live.

Looks pretty funky - kind of like a really big grey McDonald's playground :p

Looking good young sir. Better put some shine on mine. Need to reduce air resistance!!

[Spirit]

It's just sad knowing it will look dirty again tomorrow /duh

[The Vee]

Yeah, always the way mate but at least it'll be easier next time as you've put a lot into it today

Done over a couple of days mate. I think about 7 hrs in total

:uhoh: /books doctors appointment to check for illness

[The Vee]

Was there any assistance?

[Spirit]

Was there any assistance?

Oh of course mate. Shaz held the wheels as I jetwashed them, she also did some of the wheel waxing and also helped remove a lot of the polish on the car. The 7 hrs was just the time I spent on it......probably 10hrs including Shaz.

Shaz held the wheels as I jetwashed them, .


A very brave lady indeed.

[psbarham]

looks good mate, very shiny.

but i don't believe you did it, prove it by coming and polishing mine :d

and stop thinking that, this is a family forum /lol

And on that note...

Who's that dodgy bloke playing with your spray gun...?

It can't be you as would be wearing MLR apparel, surely...

Crossed over to the dark side, the evil empire, need to be wearing their kit...?

[White Lightning]

Looks great mate :2thumbsup

Looks like the pressure washer and lance gets the thumbs up too ... hmm, may have to consider an investment there, hmmm ...

Nope, the only thing with the MLR on it is a wee sticker in my airbox (where no-one can see it /lol )

thats not a pressure washer.

i use one of THESE (http://www.rioned.nl/producten.php?mgr=2&menu=3&submenu=2&pageNum_rsProduct=9&totalRows_rsProduct=11) although it would explain where the lacquer from the roof of the golf has gone :uhoh2: :whistle:

[White Lightning]

/haz ... yep, that might explain it mate!

[Turbo_Steve]

That's some serious kit!

Pete - how do you find the poorboys black hole? does it make a noticable difference?

TBH mate, this is the first time I have used it. I did, however, see some good reviews before I bought it. It was certainly easy to apply, and removed some of the light swirl marks. It also seemed to bring the "fleck" out in my paint more......although that could be because she just needed a damn good clean after the winter.

Nothing bad to say about it mate, worth a go if you have a dark car /yes

[Turbo_Steve]

And, I would like to add, those GTRs look fricken meaaaannnnnn GRRRR!

I'm an EVOO!!!! OUT OF MY WAY! I AM ALL SPOKEY and DISHED and ANGULAR! RAAAR!

I loved my Rotas.

[Spirit]

Obviously a man of taste Steve :2thumbsup

[ritch_w]

i think my lancer is the same colour as yours - Pyrenees black - kinda pearl metallic in certain lights, I thiought it was a solid black when i bought it!
