Halfords Dog-Taxi

Thanks to Dyl, Vinnie, minibbb and BigAndy for advice on "Detailing" so I ordered on Amazon .....

1. Bilt Hamber Auto Clay Medium (200g) used with water £13.70
2. Meguiar's Ultimate Compound £9.01
3. Soft foam applicator pads (extravagant not necessary)
4. had some autoglym super resin polish from an old gift-set £00.00

I was a bit sceptical on the clay (never used it before)

anyway used the clay on the bonnet but it didn't seam to do much, just a little reddy brown deposit removed, and it took 4-ever (sigh) so didn't use it on the rest and went straight on with the Meguiar's.

I'm blown away .....
defo more glass-like after using clay ... think it didn't appear to do much as there was no wax or any protection at all on the paint
.. but that Meguiar's is awesome
.... and the resin polish effortless to use and gives a fantastic gloss

not sure if the images show how good it is, but almost all scratches are gone and I can see my face in the paintwork ............ blown away with the results ....

I'm converted

Gives new meaning to Klingon??

Detailing??????? You need to get a Landy!!! Ive not washed mine in the year I have had it!!

To note though, get a wax over the paintwork - the polish is just that, it doesnt offer as good protection as finishing wax. ValetPro House Wax was my go to when I gave a sh*t about shiny black paint

You need one of these!!! ... Not a 2013 one tho

I'm blown away with the results .... I'm converted - See more at: www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum?view=to...232&start=240#129414
Clay does a good job & as you have found once wax is applied the results speak for themselves.
Nice bit protection ready for the winter elements .............

I like showy street princess type Jimnys. Hate getting them dirty in the first place cos I hate cleaning cars.

finally a pic

I won't complain about the size tho

looks like the paint finish is classic copydex with a few handfuls of sand ...

she'll get really red cheeks, some people have no consideration.

good to see you back ... closet Jimny lover

here's a dirty one for you

Much better!!!

Thats the only pic I have atm Landys are for driving .. not for taking pics of (plus any spare time is spent plugging leaks haha)

I am anything but a closet Jimny lover - I am open with my love of them - great little 4bys!! Esp when they dont shine

Here is another pic is a previous coat of copyd.. paint!! Why the feck it was pink I have no idea!!! It hasnt been pink in the time I have had it!!

Looks good hal,weird seeing it on a jimny tho.i used to be into my cleaning a while back still have all my meguires gear.just done my bm last week first car ive spent a couple days cleaning in a long time.


My jimny could do with a good buff the water just sticks to it again when it does get a wash.
