Attacked my blob with a clay bar and a Meguiars G220 today
 

Here are some pics taken today after a clay bar and Meguiars step 2 polishing session:

The Meguiars G220 is a godsend :D

Didn't get a chance to apply any wax today, i've covered her up and will be giving her a couple coats of wax asap.

was going to ask to show engine bay, is an engine in it yet?

looks good mate, was that a megs clay bar as well?

Good job:thumb:

Just out of interest did the clay bar work ok. It's just I'm wanting to do mine. But have been told that they can scratch the car. Not sure if paint is different on a classic.

looks mega! stunning looking car, lovely stance!!

Thanks for the comments guys :thumb:

Thanks mate, i used a auto-clay clay bar. Highly recommend it, it is very easy to use and can be lubricated using water.

I had no problems at all with it, aslong as you keep the panel lubricated i cant see the auto-clay bar doing any damage tbh.

The only thing bugging me is that i couldnt remove a few spots of tar that have baked themselves onto a couple of the panels over the last few months. I spent hours using tardis but couldn't get them off, has anyone got any tips/suggestions on how to get these blasted things off? Oh and i ran out of tyreshine :cry:

Engine bay is filthy at the moment :freak3: still running the stock engine, the knocking sound was a loose plug on the 3rd cylinder! I found it a couple of weeks back when i went to change the plugs, the last time they were changed was at the main dealer service 20k miles ago. I also had an issue with it smoking on startup and when it was standing in trafic but this stopped as soon as i fitted an oil catch can with the original pcv still plumbed in. The old boy is running very well :D

looks stunning, how long did that take you.

harry you sure you dont wanna come over and do my car?:luxhello:

good result.

Harry its looking cracking bud those wheels really make it whays the offset and width again? was it 9`s and offset 35?

Thanks :thumb: 3 hours removing tar, 3 hours claying everything and 4 hours polishing, cant wait to get the wax on it.

*Grabs the bucket and sponge* :) Nice one Z. Its been a long time mate, hows things? Did you manage to get the pads changed?

Thanks mate, Yep they're 18x9" E.T. 35!

Did you have to have the arches pulled/rolled to fit the wheels?
What size tyre are you running?
