Gave the disco a wee wash
Decided today that a good detail of my disco was long overdue so I spent the best part of 4 hours cleaning and polishing
Started with a wash with power hose, then snowfoam, tardis, ironX then wash. Dried it the put on glaze and the finished off with a coat of colonite double wax.

we did LRE Solihull in a white d4 with just 167 miles on it...we were surprised how clean it looked after the mud bath by just driving up the river...it always looked clean on return to base.

The snow foam sticks very good with all kind of dirt, soacks it up, then wash it, much more of these small and dry things like flies and tar spots go with it.
Afterwards you use clay to get rid of all very small things, and then you can wax it.

Yeah it is, I decided I wanted to customise mine so have gone for turning bits purple and sparkly I thought pink would work well so made the badge myself with the final cutter we have hoping to get more bits done as the year goes on and when we have time. My other half painted the grille and side vents
