danposs86 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Due to a combination of being busy, bad weather and the odd case of being lazy, the 306 has not been washed in a few months. Needless to say, it is a bit sh1t up! http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110926.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110928.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110931.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110933.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110937.jpg So, best I pull my finger out then. Two bucket method ftw http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110944.jpg Just to show how filthy it really was http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110947.jpg Much better, now for the wheels http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110951.jpg Love this stuff http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110949.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110953.jpg A before and after moment now (although I did remove some of the tar after the photo was taken) http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110955.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110960.jpg Thats it washed. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110957.jpg Now, I did plan on giving it a polish and wax, however I was knackered after a night out, so didn't bother haha. I just gave it a good dry, touched up some black plastics, gave the tyres some shine foam and added a few small stickers. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110969.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110967.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110968.jpg And done http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/P1110978.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Nice and clean, cant believe you left it for months. Fair play if it was winter as you can get that dirty in a week but months... I coudlnt look at my car being half that dirty without washing it at the first oppertunity (which in winter may be weeks later) Oh, and is that Di-Noc on the B pillar?

Genuine carbon I asked because i couldnt tell if it was Di-Noc (which looks great IMO) or it may have been shitty halfords stuff which is just shiny vynl 'Course it is lol. Previous owner did it What do you use on your tyres? They've come up well? Do you get any fling and is it sticky? Erm, just some spray can tyre foam, turtle wax I think. Not sticky at all. How long does it last...I have meguars stuff and its incredibly slick, and absorbs into my microfibre rather than going onto the tyre...some spilt on the floor of my outhouse thing and the soles of my shoes are slippy has hell on smooth surfaces now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It last ok, but its so cheap i throw it on after every wash. Its very clean and doesnt bother painted surfaces (wheels or arches, wipes right off). I leave it on the tyres for 5-10 mins, by then the foams usually all gone, give it a quick wipe around the tyre with a microfibre then clean the rest off the alloys.

danposs86 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Took the car for a track day on the Anglesey International Circuit, had a great day, weather was dry, as was the track after an hour or two. Also not many cars there so plenty of space while on the track. Loved it, the car might be a bit harsh on my B road commute, but on a circuit it is awesome, the brakes are fantastic, its well balanced and it gripped very well. Anglesey is a great circuit, would recommend it to anyone who hasn't done it already. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0053.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0056.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0063.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0091.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0115.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0129.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0187.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/danposs86/306gti6/DSC_0209.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danposs86 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was using Yoko S Drives, they did very well, only tyre squeal when really pushing into a corner. Wore very little too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
