before of engine bay, forgot to get an after as it was a mad rush to finish



having seen my detailing gear, a few mates decided to wash their cars and got through a whole bottle of CCC's Dissolver for me









overspray lol



nice bit of grime removed from the window rubbers





light machine polish with the new rotary - very nice to use although real test will be on my car this week coming



now, i only have one finished pic as it was getting dark and my camera decided to die, it was finished with Z2 on the paintwork, prime on glass and carlack sealant on windscreen, Z-CS on calipers, wheels and carbon roof, autosol on tailpipes and various engine bay parts etc etc.



hopefully i'll have some more pics to post tomorrow or monday :thumb:

Is that fiesta RS bonnet vents with an extra scoop?

And what were you using the wire wool for???

[-kev-]

i believe so, yes. large vent is there soley to feed the throttle bodies, so it may not be pretty but it works well

wire wool (fine grade) used with autosol on the tailpipes and with cloths on various parts in the engine bay including throttle body inlets and strut brace

had five fiestas myself before i got an FN2, just something about them lol

[RobertUtley]

Lovely job!

I love the look of an engine with massive throttle bodies

Not keen on the exhausts look like potato cannons

Laughed at the guy with his trousers falling down
