Well guys got in from work early so i thought i,d give the old girl a clean. Wheels and calipers etc looking a bit worse for wear.. so as follows>
Wheels off fully cleaned including AG tar remover..boy that stuff is good and polished.
Calipers discs rotors etc, washed degreased and POLISHED!!
Holes in discs cleaned out using 4mm drill bit (boy they were blocked up)
Arches and suspension arms etc washed and degreased.
Studs copper greased etc and all put back together.
She looks BRAND new.
Anyone else actually enjoy doing this?? Am i mad or sad???

Wheels, top man; calipers maybe, but suspension and rotors!
You are half a dozen walnuts too much for a Tracker bar!

Top tip...or nerdish fact of the day.. the rear discs only have holes in the outer disc.. as i found out when i tryed to drill them out!!!
and the holes are 4mm exactly...
Amazed at how much crap came out of them mind. The discs have instantly rusted so all my work may be slightly spolit next time i take her out..
On a different note.. shocks look perfect. no leaks strange how some cars are affected and some arent with DRC isues.. a bad batch of shockers maybe??

Chris, top tip of the day for you then! After the car is dry, take her for a short drive. Apply the brakes with your left foot and clean the discs off. Then drive a bit more and let the air dry the disc. Come back wipe the wheels clean again as some crap will have come off the discs and bingo u have shiney dry rust free discs!!
