Default Swissol in the sun...

Order a Mastercollection, add some free time, elbow grease and sunny weather and there is the result :






Creepy,

You can try posting on my site

and then copy the URL of the image (that's displayed on the page) and stick it in between the "IMG" tags...

Hanks, thanks for the offer, but I have a sh!tload of pics on Fotopic's server.
Before, with the old BBS it worked, now it doesn't,

On other BBS boards, sometimes it worked; sometimes not....

If I have some spare time, I will put some pics on your site...

i see the elbow greece paid off.
the car looks loverly m8!

might i say that the picture location looks great, no seriously it does! it is hard to find a nice place to take pics of a car without the background and the foreground being well just CRAP! so a great choice!

I am still Swissol'ing now at 20:30 - just put on the wax (after all the other treatments) and I am going out now to buff the wax (in the garage - no sun but heating is on).

Then onto the tyres, rubber seals, windows etc.

Mmmmm - will I be sleeping tonight?!?!

Should have started earlier I suppose. Takes at least a few hours to do it well. Not too difficult, just time consuming.

I also removed "orange spots" and a scratch from the hood with a 2000 wetsand paper and lot's of water, then cleaner fluid, wax and all **** was gone.
It looks a bit weird, when sanding there is a "dull" spot and you might think : "Ow my God, I ruined the hood", but the cleaner fluid is great stuff (medium, then normal), it's just so smooth now...

Just want to find a trick toremove some minot scratches on the centre panel (were the handbrake is...)

Creepy,

I had those orange spots on my 2003 WRX - is it tree sap or something,

Sorry, mis-spelled that, I meant "orange peel"; like in a bad respray...

Wetsanding is better tried out on an old panel or so (from junkyard), if you're not familiar with that kind of heavy polishing, don't start to practise on your car's hood or roof...
