Looking good mate

Get some blackfire metal sealant, will help protect the finish against the elements

Engine bay looks very clean mate. Your heatshield is in such good condition

 

[Jamie s]

thanks for the kind comments.

Jono i am planing a order from Polished bliss and i have been recommend the Blackfire midnight sun paste wax so i will order some of the metal sealant while im there.

Shabz the heatsheid was in poor condition and just took about 2-3 min of light rubbing with fine grade wire wool and 5 min of polishing, very easy to do and makes a big difference.

I have got a few new products recently and can recommend the Dodo juice clearly menthol glass cleaner and if you don't have any protection on your car and wash it about 1-2 a month i can recommend Dodo juice red mist (by the way i don't work for Dodo juice!) and the Optimum no rinse ...... all i can say is taht it is a great product for a quick rinse down.

I can do a mini review of each if you guys like?

hi Tony,

i used a draper rotary tool with a wire cup brush that came with it, then i used the polish pad in the same kit with some optimum metal polish.
It took about 10 min in all.

I been told that polished vtec badge means 4bhp

i have been informed that it is at least 40bhp and improves mgp by 200% h34r:

Next on the agenda in summer is getting the alloys refurbed and buy a set of steel wheels and winter tyres.

Hope this helps

You only get the mpg if you use the polishing pad. Problem is you have to redo it every three tanks of fuel otherwise it knackers the spark plugs.
