Hey guys, glorious day today, took a trip up to Ilkeston to see Dave Mellor's to purchase some new sportline's and he also fitted them for me in just over an hour , Cheers Dave, drove home 40 miles and the ride seems very similar however there seem's to be alot less roll now , the springs will most likely settile slightly over the next few hundred miles but im very happy with the results so far
Due to my lack of pictures i decided to go all out on my car with my new preussure washer, foam, poor boys wax and other little new bits ive purchased.
Hopefully this write up wont bore you too much
Products used
AG pressure washer detergent
AG body shampoo through foam lance
chemical guys maxi sudds with sheepskin mitt
microfibre cloth to dry
AG clean wheels
AG super resin polish
Nattys Blue wax
Megiuars endurance tyre gel
Autosol metal polish
Probably missed a few bits but thats the basics
So started off buying weting the car and removing any loose dirt off the vehicle.
Followed by AG detergent left to work its magic for a few minutes
Once this was rinsed off i was left with a pretty decent shine and dirt free finish all ready, next was to apply the AG shampoo through the foam lance, great fun !
Left to soak
All rinsed again
then gone over using sheepskin mitt and CG max sudds
Then rinsed and dried using a large microfibre cloth, the sun wasnt doing me any favours nor the lack of space so had to go over a few bits again due to streaks etc.. Wheels were then treated with AG clean wheels and a microfibre sponge as there in decent condition anyway then rinsed and dried also..
Next i applied the AG super resin polish to the upper half of the car as it was only a quickie today  then removed and applied Nattys blue wax ( lovely bubble gum smell ) 
After this i applied Megs endurance gel to the black parts and went over the exhaust quickly aswell... no more picture's of the cleaning process but pictures of the finished article below
Any suggestions for improvements would be great
Cheers Rob.

Is the Karcher foam lance actually any good? and what did you have in it, just AG shampoo or snow foam aswell?

Yep, had them on my Mk4 Astra and on my old S3, excellent springs.
Car looks brilliant rob, thinking about one of these next, whats the interior like on them? Had a sit in a 1.4 dynamique and it felt fairly well chucked together, just wondering on your opinion
Cheers
