Just had a spare 20 minutes tonight and decided to clean up the spark plug cover. I removed the decal, de tarred it and gave it a pass with the machine polisher. Turned out well. I'm going to Fuelled Society this weekend in Leeds and will be on a stand, if anyone is there feel free to say hello.

Went and had the 335's alloys refurbished this week, absolute steal at £280 all in and they look as good as going and buying four brand new wheels off the shelve.

No brainer really considering one new wheel would be around £380 from BMW, anyone in the West Midlands area looking for somewhere to go I can definitely recommend Amazing Alloys in Hortonwood, Telford.

Car goes in tomorrow to have the bonnet re-sprayed and golf ball ding pulled out, gave her a quick clean and a polish whilst the weather has been dry too.

Well it looks like the Civic might be going up for sale! My wife and I are now expecting a baby! To be honest when I originally bought the car we were making plans to start a family and I can comfortably run this along with my daily. The decision to sell it just comes down to whether I would actually have anytime to use it and whether it will affect our standard of living. I'd sooner get a nice pram than spend it on tyres for the civic!
 
So, a lot of work done to the car the past few weekends! I'm prepping The car for sale and one thing that had always let it down was the quality of the paint. It wasn't in great shape as the pictures below will show. The car is only used in dry weather, (well there wasa month period I used it as a daily as my wife had sold her car and my daily was needed to get her around!)


There were a few dings so I had a dent man remove them beforehand and then got to work. :buffer:


Main process was Menz Final Finish on a Sonus SFX2 pad, and this left me with a bit of marring which was an absolute pain to deal with. Eventually I managed to clear it up with final finish on an finishing pad and working the polish longer. You will see from the pictures below that I correct the paint which leaves the marring and then clarity is restored with another pass.


To finish I used Prima Amigo and finally Vics Red for a deep glossy finish. It's a perfect combination and I love using the products, really easy to use.


Anyway, i'll let the pictures do the talking.....

I'm pleased with the results, achieved about 90% correction and the car looks incredible so i'm more than happy.


Anyone who's interested the car is for sale so PM me for details by the way, I'll be putting a full for sale ad together soon.


Apologies for all the pictures by the way!

Yeah did a couple of days and a big trip to Spa (see earlier). Best car I've driven. Yeah I'm not going to pay to list it anywhere until the new year, pointless when it's so close to Christmas and people have other priorities. It's ready to go though which was the main job! How's the Lotus?
 
The lotus has gone pal. A guy in germany came over for it...what you gonna be asking for it. Got a 911 now though it hasnt seen a track.....yet lol
