Didn't have access to a pressure washer today, but had a new product to test out.

Carpro Trix.

Started with a coat of iron-x to wheel one.

Image

Then the trix

Image

Agitated.

Image

Applied to the front.

Image

Image

Then rinsed off and put outside to dry

Image

CG Degreaser was used on the tyres

Image

Centres were then polished

Image

And sealed with 2 coats of rim shield

Image

Caps were also done this way.

Image

Dodo tyromania on the walls.

Image

All finished.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Just need a finished car to put them on now, that or just keep them in my room as ornaments...!! :cry:

I get asked when its ready all the time, truth is i dont know mate, its out of my hands, my g/f's dad owns the bodyshop, he does it bit by bit when he's quiet to keep costs down for me.

3-4 weeks hopefully dude.
