Finally got some decent shots done, better than my crappy 640x480 cameraphone ones for sure

Frontbar should be replaced shortly, but apart from that the last two days I spent cleaning it was worth it. Looks 100X better.

Looks good Kieran, a tidy white soarer can look very sharp :-)

Did you clean the leather seats? They look pretty good.

Im actually in the process of cleaning my velour rear ones myself in the house. I must say its sure noisy in the the cabin while driving with the rear seats taken out, I hear ALOT more. Good sound-deading in the seats I guess :-)

Yes, did a complete detail inside and out. Pelle leather cleanser followed with a conditioning agent, did some spot-removal on carpet (I'm getting a proper shampooing done shortly). Armouralled the dash and centre console too. I just wish that the light was better and showed the beautiful cream colour of the leather, the flash has washed out the colours and the shots without the flash were far too dark.

I went a little cleaning crazy, I even brasso'd the keyholes and exhaust pipes...

Hmm not as crazy as me!

Every time I hop out of my soarer, or hop in it I brush the velour seats in a forwards and down direction of the material so its all flat and not messy looking :-)

I also get a dust cloth and wipe the interior down every time I hop in it so theres hardly any dust on the console! I hate dust!



I also wash it well once every weak and give it a nice wax, exhaust tips polished with brasso, headlights cleaned with Scratch-x, wheels cleaned and all rubber seals silicone sprayed. Then a car cover every time its not being used to avoid birds and trees dropping horrible stuff on the cleaned paint! :-)

I clean mine every time I forget if it was a Pearl Green or Grey car I bought.

I think mine is red underneath all the crusted sea spray, bird and road dirt from my trip to the Coromandel on the weekend...

Hmm maybe with something like a Honda but NOT a Soarer I find them just too special to disrespect!

Well I've already gone into my phone and set a reminder every four weeks to re-polish the paint and once every six weeks to do the leather again.

Hmm, polished mine about 3 weeks ago, and it'll probably see another polish in another 3 months if its lucky! I wash every second week if the weather is OK - I often figure there is no point if its a week of rain.

I really do need to give the interior a damn good clean though, the carpets are getting pretty disgusting. I do keep my dash fairly dust free though.
