Default Cleaning the bits no else can see

Spent 4 hours cleaning the arches and as much of the underneath as I could manage. I'm really tempted to get one of those portable lift things. I've only got one garage space (which is a PITA in itself with 2 toy cars) so a lift I can use on the drive would be useful.

Mine isn't as clean and tidy as some I've seen but happy enough with how it looks. I have discovered that the brakes line have been rubbing on the arch. I'll have the wheels off again this weekend to sort this.











I bought some carbon goodies for under the bonnet



I'm also selling these seats and a DCCD controller box

Gota love the clean painted arches look. There was a thread on this a while back.

Have you thought of spraying this on after?

Yes. It had a full strip and rebuild last winter. It was pretty decent to start with but wanted it looking like new.

I've been thinking about what to use. I was leaning towards Lanoguard but not sure about the waxy residue it leaves?? I've heard of ACF50 so will take a look.

I really wanted the clean arch look too
