its got all the plugs on it?

lay out the loom and its pretty self explanatory, should just need a live and an earth to the main module,

been 3 years since i had a kit like that, even then only tested it and didnt fit it

Yeah working when your tired is never a good idea! Came home from school to do a bit to the car, was absolutely wrecked for some reason, this lead to that & I ended up getting electrocuted!

So bought some G3 today...


I wanted to use the electric mop with it, but read quite a few bad posts thatit drys out really quickly and burns through the paint. So done it all by hand! Going to give it a second go tomorrow and then polish it with the mop was thinking of using colour magic? But heres some pictures!




And After:


Rear done, door wasnt.


Will get some decent pictures tomorrow after the 2nd time!

The bonnet I couldn't save I know it needs treating for rust but just cant afford it, so was going to buy a bonnet bra to cover it at the moment!

Yeah I've done it before when I borrowed someone's kit, thought it was okay nothing special!
Anyone think colour magic on the mop will make a bigger improvement?

be too agressive i would have thought, i stick to auto glymm super resin polish on mine goes red nicely by hand,

followed up with some wax/paint sealant then some deamonshine on top looks like this

Shaunmods off here used something called Mendeza or something like that, would be best speaking to him yourself tho. His car is spotless!

Just do it every week and it will start building itself back up and use a wax to protect! Can only recommend maquires as that and autoglym are the only things ive used! And dodo juice but im not claiming myself to be a professional detailer it just comes up nice and shiny
