Happy days Simon always good to pass hate the dreaded MOT always convince myself my Car/bike will fail lol.

As you haven't had to spend any money on repairs it's only right that you spend some on more mods fella :p

well guys,
ive had second thoughts of having these 2 pipes cam coating as its gonna cost £80 so i thought id wrap them in some heat reflective tape
the small pipe was a biatch to do so doesnt look to good but you wont see it anyhow lol


i did add some finishing touches later to tidy it up a bit,large pipe next which was dead easy hehe




hopefully should help a little to keep the temps down

Treated the car to some winter protection today by a local detailer,hard to see much with it being silver so theyd be loads of pics sorry but not too much iron fallout or tar,a couple of slight scuffs polished out also,here's what it had
Winter protection package starts with having all arches cleaned and power washed followed by the alloys cleaned, we then rinse the vehicle to remove loose debris and the vehicle is then snow foamed and left for 10 min to soften the dirt and a soft detailing brush is then used to clean the intricate areas.

After this The vehicle is pressure washed once again.
Snow foam is then added and the vehicle is washed using the 2 bucket method with grit guards.
The vehicle is then dried with plush microfibre towels and the decontamination process begins.
First the tar spots are removed and a iron remover is applied to deionise the paintwork.
The paintwork and glass are then Clayed to remove any bonded contamination.
All painted surfaces are polished and and cleansed to ensure a proper bonding surface.
1 coat of nano paint sealant is applied (extra coats can be added at an additional cost.)
A nano wheel sealant is applied to the alloys and a good quality rain repellant to the front and side windows.
Finally the tyres are dressed and the door shuts are cleaned.
Prices for our mobile car winter protection package start from £65, contact us for more details or quotes.
i had it finished with a coat of ceramic to extend the life of the detail
