My last job of 2013; one of the Ross Sport fleet needed a thorough overhaul for it's 3 monthly check up and another Evo needed a quick once over prior to a customer collection.......

Jacked up as per Ross's requirements so that I can clean the chassis and wheel arches thoroughly

Before
Image
After
Image
Alloys were like brake dust sanctuaries so they needed three hits with various wheel cleaning chemicals
Image
After
Image
All the recesses were cleaned and prepared to the same standard as the external areas
Image
Cleaned and ready for wax
Image
Waxed and reflecting nicely in the Winter sun
Image
With the external work completed, I needed to move both cars as a neighbour had started a bonfire
Image
Image
Handy!! The resultant ash blew all over the cars (and everything else) from 1pm 'til 4pm, so the cars needed to be repeatedly wiped down and dusted.

Earlier in the day I'd given the VI a basic exterior valet

Image

So with both exterior jobs completed, it was time to sort the interiors. The VI was another basic vacuum, air freshener, dust and tidy up with the X being given a different level of TLC
Mats before and after

More bonfire carnage!
Image
Front and rear of Evo X sorted
Image
Image
Time to tuck the X away for winter hibernation
