Been waiting weeks to get the FRP prepped for the winter months and get the summer wax stripped off but due to illness, weather, work and uni didn't manage to get this done until Tuesday - had a lovely clear day for it 
Couple of the car before I started any work:
got the car up and took off the N/S wheels:
Used AG Custom wheel cleaner to loosen the brake dust and dirt off the wheels and one of these brushes (below) to agitate the cleaner:
washed off the excess brake dust and crap, rinsed and got this result:
(did this on both sides for the wheels - didnt think there was any need to repeat the pics though)
abit of protection:
Also gave the Alcons the same treatment(minus the wax
):
Now they are blue!
After the wheels I got to work on the exhaust!
More custome wheel cleaner,wash and rinse:
Gave a good polish!!
Wanted to get these done first as I always find they are the dirtiest jobs and take the longest!
Next the body work - I have used Dodo Juice Blue Velvet wax (about 4layers) over the summer and wanted it stripping off and the body work cleaned for a harder wax for the winter weather.
Body work before:
A good wash with Megs Soft wash gel:
Rinse:
I then applied this (so easy to use and it's plastic friendly ):
Followed by a coating of Collinite:
All done!!
Inside:
Washed and waxed the number plated and headlights also
Extremely pleased with the results! although it won't stay like this for long I feel better now its done for the crappy weather!
After Christmas comes the service and MOT
