Arch clean down

[tom@ultimateauto]

Been meaning to do this for a while but due to lack of time I've not had the chance.I've only done the rear today, will attack the front and brembos next weekend.Here's a few pics
Wheel removed you can see plenty of road tar and dirt.


Arches jet washed then sprayed with meguiars degreaser, worked with a brush.Re washed then dried, everything wiped down with alcohol wipes.All plastics treated with Poorboys natural look dressing.Exhaust cleaned and polished with meguiars metal polish.



Calipers cleaned with bilberry wheel clean and various brushes

nice work.. I'm getting a bit lazy and I'm tending to just use Autoglym engine/machine clean (water based) and white spirit for just about everything cleaning wise... looking at what you've achieved though I may have to re-think.

hey, thanks for the pics there. it was a bit weird actually, browsing your thread at lunchtime i saw the wee clips that hold on the arch liners and knew i'd seen one recently. when i got home i went to the side of the road outside my house and found the wee plastic clip i'd found at the weekend and chucked away! its been bashed up a bit but looks like it will still hold.

just need to find out where it came off. are the clips shown in pic 2 only on the rear arches?

I think there are three of those in total
