MG car detailing! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Shiplyopidomi** · 10-18-2008, 04:51 PM

I had this done about a month ago, but haven't got round to posting.

Basically, it started off when I bought some new wheels. My original alloys were kerbed, and I needed new tyres. I found some brand new MG wheels and tyres on ebay. These are very rare to find 'as new' as MG don't make these alloys in this size anymore. The guy had bought them as spares but hadn't needed them. ANYWAY, lol, my old kerbed wheels were swapped for a full detail (worth £250) from a forum member on xpowerforums.com. Here are the pics, and there's also a pic of his ZS with my old wheels on it after they'd been refurbed...

Intresting. So what is detailing then, just a very thorough clean?

Someone ought to find a way to clean the moss (yes, you heard right, moss) off the window frames of my Focus. My car is properly disgusting, but I'm 18, what do you expect?

Haha, I saw an Audi Q7 once with 'I wish my wife was this dirty' written on the side of it. It covered one whole side of the Q7.

Thanks to the colour of my car (Moondust Silver) it never really gets very dirty on the outside. It's on the inside where the real muck is... there's dust everywhere. Yeah, it's pretty filthy for only 36,000 miles. I'll have to wipe the inside down this weekend - then I'll take pics.
