Good finish

With better weather have given the car a proper real polish.
SWMBO bought me an electric car polisher for Christmas and this is first time of using.
Learnt a few things like put polish on very thinly.

I've never had the courage to put an orbital sanding machine (which is what it is in effect) to my paintwork.
Well done to you. Thumbs Up Jules

Did pop up the black plastic trim?



& it's very dirty under the plastic panel below the windscreen. Actually the plastic strip on the bottom edge of the glass is worth pulling off & cleaning out.

There are plenty more places behind trim panels which will give you a coronary event, but I don't want to put you off cleaning! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I had always assumed that rear bit of trim was held on with adhesive. May have to pop that off for a look, its a real dirt trap.

It just clips in, start at one end pulling it up. Easy to hose out. When you put it back make sure it is down fully so it doesn't rub on the bottom edge of the boot door. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Nice job Jim, I find car detailing very therapeutic and love spending time keeping our cars clean. Heres a few of mine looking very similar:

2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)
