Re: Vauxhall Cavalier L f reg all waxed up.
It's called 3m m8 this stuff. It's £9 a bottle but tescos had it in for £2.30 so I thought I would try it, its the best stuff I have used so far once wax settles on the car it really leaves a smooth touch to the paint I'm going over her a few more times as I really want the shine to be like my old cavalier i waxed that like 20 or 30 times lol twice a week.Stoater85 wrote:what wax mate? looks good!

Re: Vauxhall Cavalier L f reg all waxed up.
Good idea it really is good stuff and I'm super fussy with what I use I paid £25 for my last wax but stupidly left it in the cold and it got wrecked I'm thinking of getting some of the old wax that's in the shoe polish containers when i can and give her a proper going over buffer and everything also a blooming good claying.Stoater85 wrote:decent, im gonna see what tesco has tomoz!!! before the big cover goes over mine lol

Re: Vauxhall Cavalier L f reg all waxed up.
Reduced section? Oh no wonder then, it's pick and mix really with those, depends on which store you go to and who'd been on waste/reductions duty, sometimes you get stuff fairly priced, other times you get stuff that's knocked 10p off.... really pisses me off that.cavaliersri130 wrote:It was in the reduced section and there was shelves full lol.Cavalier342 wrote:I bleeding work at tesco and I haven't seen that stuff.... really good result.

Re: Vauxhall Cavalier L f reg all waxed up.
Yeah me too I'm always moaning about the 10p reductions on door I like it when they actually reduce things perhaps if they did the stuff would actually sell instead of sitting there going past there sell by dates.Cavalier342 wrote:Reduced section?

Re: Vauxhall Cavalier L f reg all waxed up.
Gave the grill a quick gloss coat today as it looked flat to me.
Not bad considering the can was only 99p. Can't wait for it to dry now so I can put it on.

Re: Vauxhall Cavalier L f reg all waxed up.
New duckhams oil stickers fitted as this is the brand of oil that haynes recommended in the old days.
So just wanted some retro stickers.
Need to remove and replace the old radio stickers as i want them to be replaced as they are part of her.
Just need to find where I can get them from.
Also today found where the oil leak is its the dump gasket needs doing so on my next service I will be getting it sorted as its making a mess lol.
