Had some time to machine the boot (top) and make a start on the rear arches (tops) but haven't had much time to work on the paint of late.
I'm trying to do a little at a time if I get a spare hour or so but today it had to be just cleaned. It has been sitting filthy over the last couple of weeks.
Usual approach you heard a million times before:
Billbury wheel cleaner about 7 to 1 mix
Rinse
G101 on bottom half
Foam Lance with Snow Foam
2 bucket wash + foam gun on hose into the mitt
cleaned engine / shuts etc with various brushes and G101
rinse
dry
2 coats of #845
1 coat CG XXX
Megs tyre gel and a good hoover.
I also painted the Chrome surround on the grills took a couple of days with 3 primer / 3 paint / 2 lacquer coats. Also De-french fry'd the rear lights.
