I finally picked up a new Nilsfick Pressure washer last week for a pretty decent price, (never had my own at home before, always nick one or use the unit's one) and I'd been eager to see if it was as good as the Karcher. Worked from home today so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it a go.
Ontop of that, I'd bought a few goodies recently and the car covered approx 3.5k miles in Feb!
Process was:
Pressure washed
RDS all over, wheels, shuts and around badges etc agitated
Gave the roof a going over with the autoglym and the sponge that comes with it.
Pressure washed again
Megs gold class 2BM wash
Pressure wash
Dry
Polish with AF tripple
Gliptone both seats (proper massively impressed with this, old products rock)
Hoovered out the inside
Went over any plastic marks with the brush and some RDS
Plastics and wheel wiped over with a clean MF
I forgot to take befores (for once) and I only noticed today I've ran out of tyre gel
Anyway, pics (they're not great but it was getting dark and couldn't be bothered to get my tripod)
:
The new kit:
I enjoyed a top down jaunt earlier in the sun with my mum (first time she's been out in it) so I thought I'd take pics top down:
Quick one with the top up:
All in all I'm still really enjoying the car, full alignment in Feb has made it even better, along with the winter wheels and new pads and new brake fluid last month too.
Oh and the pressure washer, superb. Really very impressed and a proper bargain from screwfix IMO.
In terms of plans, I think I'll be keeping it past summer, so it'll have the summer wheels back on, which are now refurbed, and I'll be having the front bumper sprayed up.
Last, I should be getting the brembos on that I've had for an age, that should finish it off and maybe line it up for a few summer track days....
Thanks for reading.
