Default Lee's Lotus "Mini" Detail

Lee got me to do his Lotus last Saturday while getting his 8th stuff ready for the National.

It came out pretty well, no machine polishing needed but i gave it a full de-tar, wash with Zymol shampoo and clay followed by a light hand polish with Autoglym SRP then a nice coating of Dodo Juice Light Fantastic wax, finished by polishing the exhausts (good old Autosol) and treated all the plastics and Tyres with Meguiars Trim Detailer and Hot rims Tyre spray.

The car is stunning though, such a nice colour combination, finished off perfectly with Gloss black rims.

Much better!

Saw his VXR at EPR and thought just another Vauxhall!

He's had quite a few nice cars hasn't he ? He needs to get the new M3

Finally got a good car, and got rid of an average one. The best handling car in the dry or wet. Pity my mrs wont let me buy one, i came close.

The Astra was still pretty cool, it went well and sounded amazing for a "standard" car! I cleaned that up before he sold it too, it was a nightmare to get all the Tar off though, not only because it was white but i think the shape seemed to attract it like flies round sh**.....







I liked it though....

Yeah he's had a fair few nice cars now, you might see a pattern developing but he had a lush Orange Exige (S2) a while back, i spent a few hours cleaning that up too before he sold it
