My Cavalier in tescos car park after shine.

Post by cavaliersri130 »

I gave my cavalier two coats of wax today as the weather was much better today, wanted to work on her but she was needed and couldn't get her into my front garden.
So thought what the hell I also greased up all the latches and catches as they were looking bone dry.

Also fix my boot latch as it was severly loose didn't notice it before.

Next on the valeting is the interior and I'm also going to be supargaurding her if anyone knows what that is and g3 glass coat.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Yeah they pop up from time to time scares the life outta me LOL na that's my little boy.
My eldest is on the other side.
I quickly shot this while my other half went back up as she only moans at me if I even try to take photos when I'm out she's not a great fan of my hobby.

Nope she's pretty much a shiny red just a lighter red than my old one.
Sometimes the lighting makes her look pink but it all depends.

Got round to giving the Interior a good Hoover today and also a blooming good going over with a paint brush to get all the dust out her gaps.
I also gave it a going over with some all purpose cleaner and a good handy cloth she's looking much better now.

Seats still need vaxing but that's a summer job when I can get them to dry quicker.

I also fixed my broken bonnet stay base, I used some black nuts and bolts from an old dvd player I stripped years ago they look better and a lot more sturdythan the old plastic push Ins.
