Title: Some new pics of the MV6...
Post by: barclay03 on 30 October 2008, 16:51:57
Gave the MV6 a quick wash today and took a few pics... havent really done much to it, but got a set of coilovers waiting to go on ;D then wheels and bodywork is next...

Cheers guys ;) Paintwork isnt that mint, rear arches and edge of doors are bubbling, and there seems to be quite a few scratches despite it being machine polished only 500 miles ago! lol

Machine polisher + 8 hours + a good camera ;D it could still benefit from another polish, not as clean as id like it unfortunately! :( but with the bubbling on arches etc, im holding back on cleaning it up lol

Effect is quite stunning ..did you do the machine polishing ?or was it done by a company ??
What sort of price did they charge you,or how much and where did you buy the polisher.
I couldn,t imagine a several year old car could look so highly polished..truly amazing

Did it myself. Mines is PC7424 orbital polisher ordered from america, but the meguires g220 is much easier to get a hold of now and dont need to bother with 110v things ;D think they come in around £200, plus you need polishes, pads etc

ooo aaaah! i'd have that :P not too fussed with the wheels though, i'd prefere less curve on the spokes like the camaro SS wheels (very similar to BBS RK's)

Looks VERY nice mate!

The paint finish looks fantastic.  :y

The grill came from ebay - £30 or there abouts.

Fitted some aero wipers and must say, what a difference! screen acctually clears now with no missed streaks or squeeking :D

Title: Re: Some new pics of the MV6...
Post by: barclay03 on 19 December 2008, 23:20:36
Wasnt clayed at the time, no... was more just a test to see what i was actually working with so just hit it with the polish... was originally only doing the bonnet but the mrs went out so went for the whole car lol used menzerna intensive polish, then final polish, then megs #7 glaze and collinite 915 wax

SWEET. I've got one the same & access to trade valeting products. They look great when done but black is a bitch to keep clean.
   My mate Steve is the doggies with a machine polisher ( The Boy's tractor) & i'm learning all the different mop heads & thier uses. I'm lucky enough to have 2 good sets of MV6 rims.
    Will post some piccies in the new year when she's back in black! :y
