Here is a thread for our members to post up pictures of what you have done to mod your car,or even if you done nothing get a picture up in here (show it off)

Would be good if you can post a picture timeline since having your Fiat.

Are the DRLs like a standard bulb in the headlight unit on the Bravo? Did you choose a particular bulb as an upgrade?

Chamiox leather dry

Acid based alloy wheel cleaner and finally Meguires wet look tyres gel and bumper restorer ) 3 hours

Difference in sunlight in images

Clay bar is brill because it lifts all the impurities off the paint work And your wheels, flys, tar, tree sap relativly easy )

But better picture of end result, showes the shine off better

You can use it as often as you want, doesn't add anything to the paint like wax just removes impurities ) I do mine about once a month

I may give it a whirl then cheers bennycovelly

I usually use snow foam first then give it a spray off,then use autoglym conditioner and shampoo,
autoglym polish resin after that,

and for the wheels
Autoglym wheel cleaner
Then the protector
And tyre cleaner

Looks good, never tried snow foam, I like old fashioned ways haha

Btw top tip don't leave your wiper arms up when cleaning the car... I learnt that lesson on a 6months old M3 haha

Yeah mate its quality but I got the snow foam gun off ebay it's a beast robust gun,what's the deal with the wipers?
If anything tip for bravo don't know bout punto but when chamois your car I open the boot so the water runs out from behind the back window otherwise you drive off and the water runs down your lovely dry clean car

You only really need to do it once a year. But you can use it as much as you like. Typically a clay bar is only good for about four cars worth. After that it becomes too saturated with grime to become affective. Thier awesome at removing tar and tree sap. Some use a special lubricant to help aid the bar as it wipes over the body work but I just use the suds and water

Once you use one, you'll never look back

I REALLY wish I had time to use a claybar. Maybe one day.

Any of you guys ever tried Armorall shield??

Yes it's really good stuff, lasts a decent amount of time and easy to apply and get a good finish from )

Yeah gotta agree with you Ben. Used it on the punto & scenic about a month ago and the waters still bobbling in them like they've just been waxed! A doddle to use and a long lasting shine

Its good ****:thumbup:

All looking good Gents, this thread and the cars, I've used clay not long ago and it was unreal how much it picked up you feel like you've never washed a car properly before it. My birthday today so my Missus has bought me the meguiars DA power system so going to polish and ultimate compound the punto and post the results on here, I also put 35mm apex lowering springs on it yesterday with new top mounts so will put a picture up of it lowered when it settles and a good picture place arrives
