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

Nice choice. Who's going to be carting your kit round then !
Would like a nice car myself, but about to potentially start a 90 mile round commute to HP at Hook each day  So my Leon Cupra will be run until she blows

Use a decent foam applicator pad such as Sonus SFX http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/access...2/prod_31.html Or the other ones are good too, Zaino http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/zaino/.../prod_462.html Or the Ultimate German one http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/access.../prod_280.html They usually have a soft side and a more abrasive side, use the abrasive side for applying the Polish, and the soft side to add your Wax or Sealant.... As far as Paste waxes go, the best value for money is probably Meguiars #16 Paste Wax, it's cheap as you really only need the smallest amount - Don't spread too much on otherwise you'll spend ages (i mean hours) trying to buff it off again. Best to get the surface nicely polished first, the Wax will then add a really nice deep wet look. Yellow should come up well! http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/me...x/prod_98.html (You may get it a bit cheaper if you google it)

I don't hoon it, just what it does. It's revo'd and milltek fitted. Got pretty good mpg going to devon back in the summer and got 400 from the tank rather than 280-300
Lowest I have ever had is 180 from a tank on a run to Le Mans. Is the lotus standard? Would have the lotus over a xjr For xjr money rs4 please!
