Bike Loon Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 Annual spring time clay bar, followed by a coat of Poor Boys black hole and Nattys wax for the car today. Still zero stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper since the respray... mind you I have probably only done 2,000 miles since they were painted 😆😬 Will probably give it another coat of wax later in the week & I will also condition all the leather interior (thats the seats, door cards, centre console surrounds, speedo binnicle and dashboard) 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks deep enough to swim in, I misread your post above and couldn't believe you subjected your wifey to that sort of treatment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Loon Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 (edited) Leather all cleaned and conditioned this morning. All looking great for an 83,000 mile interior! Yes, I know the floor has not been vacuumed, that gets done last! Edited March 21 by Bike Loon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Loon Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) Picked it up last night after the wheels were refurbished. I was glad to give back the 1.0 litre Polo that did 0-60 in 11 seconds! Washed it today and gave the tyres a bit of slick conditioning as they were looking a bit dull Edited March 29 by Bike Loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I did look at the cost of replacing it but the new part is over £900! How do they justify that!
