You can call me numb-skull :whatever:
Full-monty clean and detail today, and then at lunchtime as i was doing the last little bits - i decided the matt black door strips were just too much for me any longer :001_rolleyes:
So out with the hair-dryer to soften the decal up, move door seal out of the way and get to work.
First one came off really easily - and in some big chunks. Maybe this isnt so bad after all i thought. Cleaned up the residue with Autoglym Tar remover and the job was indeed a good one:
As it was dry i then masked the area off, polished with Autoglym SRP and then gave the pillar two coats of Dodo-Juice Supernatural hybrid waiting 1/2 hour to dry before buffing, and 1/2 hour between coats.
The other side turned out to be a bitch, Ended up picking with my nails, getting tiny bits off at a time and i reckon it took over an hour and the mess was everywhere....inside and out !!!
Once done; i again polished the pillar with SRP, and gave two coats of DodoJuice Supernatural Hybrid.
I then set about getting the car clean. Again !!! I've just snow-foamed and rinsed and here she is:
Something ive been meaning to do for ages, and although it took long enough and the change isnt huge - im glad its done now. If you fancy it - dont be an idiot like me, and do it BEFORE you clean the old girl !!!
Now going to dry and finish ready for Re-Mapping in the morning...............
