  1. Cooler today (only 25°C) so did exterior #valet of #Vauxhall / #Opel #Corsa - started with #snowfoam mix of Autoglym Polar Blast + BiltHamber Surfex HD at 10% (wouldn't normally use anything as heavy as that but you can see state car was in previously!)

    Contact wash with CarPro Reset. No pics of snowfoam due to working fast because heat!

    Single stage polish with Koch Chemie 3.01 mild compound+carnuba #wax, cheap cordless DA (compatible with #Makita batteries) and orange pad that came with it.

    I'm fairly new to machine #polishing and didn't use best technique and too much polish (though some on YT recommend keeping pad saturated when working in hot weather to prevent polish drying out, and this seemed to work, #bodywork on this #car far from perfect anyway!)

  6. A day with the family...

    And a huge surprise:

    We went to the Body Worlds exhibition today. It was a real highlight for me because I find Dr. Gunther von Hagens’ work incredibly interesting.

    I highly recommend everyone go check it out. You learn a lot, and as I said, there’s plenty to see.

  11. Exterior #bodywork wasn't in too bad shape (a few touch up repairs have been done over the years, there's usual stone chips but the #car had recently had a machine polish (I could tell by the residue left in odd corners!) and paint wasn't badly swirled, only needed a rinseless wash, a bit of hand polishing and a single stage machine polish on the doors and bonnets to get good results.

    #Exhaust tips had been neglected, managed to make them a bit better with fine steel wool (the brillo stuff with soap) -- some chrome plating has flaked due to carbon being baked on still doesn't look too bad.

    Also cleaned up inside of petrol tank flap (something I'm likely to be seeing rather a lot of as this car is a tad more thirsty than my last one!) #detailing #valeting

  16. I'm happy how well my Shiatsu wiki is coming along. I've implemented a database for the vast system of pressure points that automatically interlink with other points generating a glossary of same symptoms they can be used for. #theWorkshop #bodywork
