Fitted my new Red 4 Point Harnesses today,IMO looks alot better than the black harnesses i previously had :) (the black ones were 3 point)

I finally had a spare day to valet the car,seeming as i haven't washed her since July last year. I took the time to photograph most things i used and some before and after shots.

Theres a quite a few photos,so bare with me :p

First Step was to rinse and wash the car (obviously) so out came the Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax

Once the car was clean it was to take out any swirl marks,using Meguiar's Step 1 Paint Cleaner

It was time to tackle the Wheels,so once they were dry i used Meguiar's Metal Polish

Followed by a coating of Rim Wax

I then used Meguiar's Endurance Gel for the Tyres:

Next up for the Paint work was to Polish it. A friend had given me some of his own Polish which is the best Polish i've ever used:

Applied:

Taken off:

Exhaust Tip was looking grubby,so out came the Autosol:

Last thing to do was the black plastics. You may have noticed i'm a fan of Meguiars...but nothing beats Auto Glym Bumper Car for black plastics:

Some finished photos,3hrs well spent!

Thats cool as fuck!!

And they kindly sent me this:

Popped down to H&S today to get the car services and to have the SFS Hoses fitted:

Much better :) Even if they did have trouble removing/fitted the Inlet manifold hose,but they still managed to fit it without charging me extra even though it took longer than expected. Top work guys!
