Default My new motor....

After collecting it last week i've been waiting for a cloudy day so as to get a start made on it.

This morning I managed:

Autobrite foaming with SSF
2 bucket wash with Sonus Wash and both Shmitts
PC out with SFX 2 then SFX 3
AG glass polish on the windows
Meg's tyre shine on the rubber boots.

Still plenty left to do but the wheels are coming off for a full clean and wax and a few coats of Collonite left to go on soon too.

A few pics:

I wish I could have too matey

Had hoped to spend all day on it and get wax on and wheels off and cleaned but the list of other stuff to do was too great. Maybe more time another day if i dont get it too dirty in the mean time.
Cheers

Nice one matey, i bought the Sonus stuff as it was recommended for the Honda black paint, but as you say it also gives a good result on the WR blue too.

May get to give it a quick wax after tea as the suns now off it.
Cheers
