What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today? - Page 315

Lovely finish + they must be the cleanest wheel arches ever!!

KenR · 18th April 2015, 20:07

Finally cracked on with vacuuming my 75 out, looks a damn sight better in there now. I did notice that a couple of the plastic trims that go over the join between the carpet and sill have detached via broken clips/mounts. Something else to add to the list then.

Spare wheel - Crown alloy
Plastic trim bits
Fit new sidelight bulb
Swap mirrors for spares
Fit new fan
Source new rear bumper
Oil and filter change
Coolant flush and refill

Wash the flipping thing

Not a majorly awful list by any stretch of the imagination.

When I just got the car I took the wheels off, and just sat done with my collection of brushes and heavy duty cleaners. After that is mainly a matter of maintaining it. I wash the wheelarches every week and every now and then top up the protection with something like Gyeon Cure or Carpro Reload to keep it hydrophobic (also makes for easy cleaning).

Ooh looks like I will have something to buy next year

I got a sample of 1900:1 so even being a sample that will last a while

got a lot of autoglym body shape and c too! Not the greatest but it works fine for my needs currently

got to clean my sisters car tomorrow, will send you some before and afters, it's in an interesting state on the outside

Curious to see more

.
Autoglym is alright if you're not looking for pure perfection and best performance. They do offer good value for money. But if you really want the best of the best, you need to get something else.
