Ching Bling

Got back from work 2day (been in Spain working, tiz a hard life) the Landy was filthy (wife wont clean it) so i got the 6 bottles of this and that out and started to clean her up, wash up first, then used the clay bar for a deep clean, and any bit that are stuck on (load of fly poo and tar spots came off) then put a sealer on as a base, colour wax, then 2 more of liquid wax, and the sealer again (gives it protection and a "wet" look finish) all done with micro fibre cloths, so far i have only done the bonnet front side panels and the front, took a long time, but i think it was worth the effort, you can even see the con trail of the aircraft in it (looks like a white line) the phone lines the street lighting etc, its amazing its never come up as good as this, i must be using the right combo of stuff

hurry up and get it finished instead of admiring it , then you can come and do mine mate lol.

A landrover that aint got mud on it aint a proper landrover, fook this washing and poloshin ****e, it just gets dirty again.

I've had mine out every day this week, 5 in the mornin covered in cow ****e and **** and mud eveywhere, tow bars like a plough, dented and scratched the drivers wing, ripped the drivers indicator light right off, both the rubber trims gone from the steps and the drivers step bent right up into the door sill.

Ah fookin bliss, can't wait till next week, and not a fokkin bottle of wax wash in sight.

I have been off road in it a few times.......

You put me to shame.

So that's how you wash it then, tell me this when you are as deep in water as that what's it like inside, are the carpets soaked

The first pick is of me being towed back to the site!! like everything went tits up, the washers were washing and wipers went on, roof opened, diesel cap opened, the starter wouldn't stop, the ecu (all 3 of them) had to be taken out and cleaned out, gearbox was fubar (i think you get the jest of it!! cost £1500, i was insured against it though, fun factor, priceless,

I have a series 2 for the harder stuff though, its real fun to drive off road, and it being a 1958 Landy you just drive around the tracks with a big grin, and its all DIY fixable
