Friday night in the tado household...

We like to live it pretty large here on a friday night and last night was no exception. It was a heady evening fueled by GUNK de-greaser, Meguiars plastic polish and rubber-reconditioner... and a bit of cotton bud action. Phewf!

Here's how things started out - 18 years worth of dirt, scratches and awful over-spray...


After a couple hours of cleaning crevices, celebrity big brother ignoring and frantic polishing this is what resulted:



I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out! The lens polish especially is pretty remarkable stuff, tho it doesnt really show in the pics.

Saturday night is looking almost as wild with the right hand one to do next!
Last night was the third successive night in a row of this kind of excessive living. So far we've also seen a dashboard in the bath and a whole evening of rubber-reconditioning... Live fast die young.

Nice turn around Mike, you're really getting it this cleaning lark aren't you! :-)You are learning my secrets with the plastic polish! You'll be wet sanding and machine polishing next!

haha - yeah, its coming along nicely - the plastic polish is awesome stuff. i actually had to use some super-fine wet and dry on one section of the lights as they had some kind of baked-on splat/gunk on em!
After the steam-cleaning tho i got something grim in one of my eyes and now have conjunctivitous which is not fun. some vile 18 year old japanese nasty attacked me!
