The bores seem to still have the cross-hatching on them!
Thanks for the replies - I'm running out of things to do with it tbh. I'm thinking about dabbling with some soundproofing next. Underneath the front footwells, arches and doors. Possibly the boot floor as well. Obviously it doesn't surprise but since getting the Bilstein and 195/50 Pilot Sports on, the ride has been pretty harsh. Anything to make longer journeys that little bit more enjoyable.
Gonna give the pug a 'Winter Detail' over the weekend, usually give it a full clay bar, polish and wax every six months. However I'm also going to give the windows a polishing with some Autoglym Glass Polish, essentially claying for your windows. Used it on a couple of windscreens already and its been good.
So.. I got a bit carried away with my detailing collection:
A lot of the time I was sceptical about cleaning, you know.. Two days later and its dirty again etc. But no.. You gotta clay it, polish it, wax it/seal it. Usually takes me about four or five passes over the entire car before I'm done and it's absolutely amazing when it does finally rain and it all just rolls straight off like a wet suit. Very much recommend claying before waxing.
I'll post a proper list of products if anyone is interested.
