I can't belive how close it is - need to find time to do my detailing!!!

haha me 2 its gonna be a nightmare 2-3 days before lol

I think i'll be in the garage late at night finishing off the detail if its crappy weather!

i'll have the polish cleanning mine the day before fitp. i'm not very good at cleaning my black car lol. was fine with my blue focus but just cant do my black st very well plus i get a free air freshner lol

ill give you some tips on cleaning the black at FITP if you like, mine seems to come up alright most of the time! lol

lol yeah that would be good. mine always looks streaky from the water marks when i've finished drying it

get a water magnet towel, leaves no marks at all and takes half the time to do it

What is this magical water magnet towel you talk of?

Meguiars water magnet, google it

I use meguiars one but ive also used other makes such as Autosmart and all pretty much the same, they are absolutely brilliant mate.

My brother has one of these and its quite good just make sure u give it a good clean after use! You still need a drying cloth though but it takes most of the water off before it dries!

Btw how bad would it be if I had scratched alloys at FITP? Im really conscience of it now as its going to be on a stand and I cant really afford it after getting two parking fines recently (one for being parked outside my own bloody house)
I will deff try get them sorted for FordFair though!

I wouldn't worry about your scratched alloy. Lots of us have had our cars on the stand with kerbed alloys at some point!

Cheers mate! Has been doing my head in TBH!
Just hearing what people are doing before FITP and I started worrying lol
Just need cash for other things too and I still aint use to getting monthly pay after 4 years lol

nearly all my wheels are scratched now thanks to stupid cheap tyre fitters grrrr, but anyway Ive got a few minor defaults all over my car such as little scratched that need a respray to get out and my grills are starting to chip a tiny bit but hopefully get a quote to get a few bits prayed with the plastics. Im sure htere be plenty of other cars with defaults aswell.

Im hoping so (I dont mean that in a bad way) Its just the fact its going to be on a stand really!!
Im having my full valet done though so should take the light away from the wheels lol
