Forum game: "Detailing" means...

[nvingo]

Detailing. What obscure part of a (standard) car do you think might be overlooked when preparing for a show display ?

One suggestion per post, no duplicates. Let's see how far it goes.

I'll kick off with:

Waxing under the fuel filler door hinge

De-mossing the inside of the window seals (top of the main portion of the door, ie the bit the glass disappears into when the window goes down.)

That bit of the front bumper you can't really see unless you take the front grill off - out of sight, out of mind!

 

[Pid_16V]

Lower door mirror moulding (the black part)

 

[Everton]

Washing it at the local jetwash

 

[Mako]

The bits where the rear lights meet the rear bumper.

Incidentally, I'm on to your game, sir.

 

[Relliott6879]

Polishing the inside of the gearbox bellhousing.

You mean you don't take the tail lights off and do the back of the housing and the facing bits of body and bumper ?

What game? I swear I ain't making a detailing crib sheet from the replies

I've got one just like that but slightly cleaner...not by much though

The chrome exhaust tips both inside and outside. You must polish your pipes.

 

[FlamencoAssassin]

Standing in your engine bay and cleaning all around you while there's no engine fitted (at Mafia HQ). LOL

 

[charliecd001]

Threatening to throw said owner in the boot for cleaning so vigorously .

 

[Pid_16V]

Polishing the inner side of the wheel rims?

 

[spjmorris]

Um.....I may have done this:

The way my car turned up to Leicester at Christmas was a pretty poor example of how to present a car.

Using that as my basis, make sure you have a nice looking antenna!

Popping the side repeaters out to give the bit of hidden body work a good scrub.
