Black 2007 Clio R27 F1 ***Pic heavy***

So I received quite a big delivery from CYC with several new toys the main one being a snow foam.

Only got a quick foam, wash and DAS6'd the bonnet. The rest of the car needs done badly!

boot lid needs corrected badly



wheels treated with poor boys wheel wax (wheels need taken off and fully cleaned)




got a decal for the recaro base.. because its the F1 edition its limited to 500 sold in the UK. Mine is #133 so I got this. Again sadly I didnt get the inside cleaned. So much more work to do but no time! It does not help having to do all the work outside!




If you this far well done!!

**edit**

Hi Adam,

Just taken a look at your pics. You car looks absolutely mint. Just like if you bought it brand new from a Renault show room.

I purchased a Nilkfisk pressure washer today. However I've heard different methods of using snow foam on different forums. Some people have said they have t shampoo/wash their car by hand after they have rinsed snow foam off. (Like you have done) Surely that just makes work 2 times longer! Could I just snow foam the car and then rinse and them dry or won't I get away with that? Them swirls/scratches that you took pics of, did they come off in the end? I don't want that happening to my car :'(

Look forward to your feedback bud!!
