More progress today:

Headlining out.

Painted up the metal on the interior, not perfect, but it sits behind carpet, so it doesn't really matter.

Image

Rear lights cleaned up with eraser, then waxed with FK100p and fitted to the car.

My mates RS Clio 200, 35 years between them :)

What are the products that you used on the lenses?

In my day we only had turtle wax! :lol:

To clean: eraser, SRP and a bit of clay.

To seal: FK1000p wax, which is a, long lasting, high temperature wax.

The rubbers: Wolfs Chemicals Rubber Care.

I love detailing more than I should :(

Do you get this stuff on eBay? Can you do a quick ''idiots guide to detailing products'' please? I'm sure I'm not the only one who might benefit. :thumbsup

I'd love to do a bit of a write up, it's something I'm very passionate about.

Give me a few days and I'll sort out a decent thread.

I get most of my stuff from a local detailing shop, but the likes of Clean Your Car, Polished Bliss and I4Detailing are all very good websites.

Sorry :oops:

I'm quite active on forums, I find them very useful, and enjoy keeping things detailed and up to date :)
