What have you done to your car today?

7 hour session today

1. Carbon wrapped the interior
2. Leather restore kit used on a slightly worn bolster
3. Refurbed the steering wheel trim
4. Turtle Wax plastic restorer applied to all internal plastics
5. Sprayed the only remaining bit of grey plastic left - under the handbrake

Didn't even manage to get round to washing the poor thing but the inside has seen some serious love today

Only once in a blue moon do the wife and kids go away for a couple of days. Making the most of it.

I'm now going to get comfy in my pants and sink a few tins whilst watching something other that Paw Patrol

Hi Greg, do you mind sharing which kit you used to do this and would you recommend it?

Sure thing.

I bought this Renovo stuff from Amazon and applied it with a microfibre cloth. The worn bolster looks great now and I buffer over the rest of the seats which now have a nice fresh shine.

Never used any of the other products, but I'm certainly very happy with today's results!

Well done Mark........I'm just watching the lightening and listening to the thunder instead of getting the zed up on jacks!

Finally fitted gaptech, and up to now all is well an I seem able to get the key press timing correct

[Mark R]

Hi Davz, Got the service items out the way just before the thunder hit, got the coolant to do but pleased with the days work. The gearbox feels better for the oil change can not belive any manufacture says sealed for life what a crock of sxxt.
Mark.

[Davz]

I know what you mean about so called sealed for life, it is inevitible that meshing gears will create fine wear particles and therefore oil should be changed. What was the condition of the oil and on what mileage?
Have you gone for synthetic oils?

Managed to pair an android phone (galaxy s7) to my new car, which wasn't any where near as easy as it should have been! Pleased to see all the phone contacts show up on the 12yr old pop-up computer display, which I wasn't expecting.
