So as not to be outdone by a certain tall 'short' fella, I thought id better up my game, this arrived this morning

I will have a shiny Jalousie :lol:

I had the same plan...but my 'tool' is a cheapo from Halfords (was in the sale :msn4: )
Just be warned...you get a liberal spray of polishing compound everywhere you didn't want it! I tried to clean up the car's headlight and did it with the bonnet open....everything in the engine bay looks like it's now been over sprayed in white :evil:
Enjoy...and post the results to motivate me

I feel a shine off coming on!

That looks a neat bit of kit, although given the area to polish, you'd benefit from adding to that the kit I bought on Amazon with the large wheels and the two polishing compounds..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-Max-Aluminium-Brass-Metal-Polishing/dp/B005DEQPB6/ref=sr_1_55?ie=UTF8&qid=1360760266&sr=8-55" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A lesson I learnt is to spend the time with the sisal wheel and the brown compound as everything else just buffs up the finish to a shine.. it's the first stage that lays the foundation for the final result.. I'd like to go back and do mine again one day having learned that..

Have fun dude..

oh, and wear a paper face mask and safety spec.. I didn't wear the paper mask the first time and came out of the garage looking like a coal miner! not meant to be too good to breath in this stuff!

So had a day on the bus and it was master cylinder day :mrgreen:

Since fitting discs I have had some drag and an annoying squeek when in traffic, so thanks to Ubercool for bringing this to my attention and Strongy whos info it was I took the valve out the master cylinder.

Wont be needing these bits.....

5mins to take off with the correct brake line spanner and a 17mm. Then an hour to get the gitting thing back on :roll:

A trip to the motor factors for some brake fluid and 10mins later all done. 1st time Ive bled brakes so quite please with myself Tho It did take half an hour to find a 7mm spanner..........7mm :lol: :?

Then out came the other Jalousie, and hardly any rust on this one

A quick going over with my new rotary toy

Nice easy job that one.........................................as for polishing the window thats another story :lol: But I have a plan....................more next week.

Are the window frames not anodised ? If they are you will need to get under the surface and when you have they will need laquer to stop them corroding!

pull out from the bottom, then slide the whole window down slighty (to clear the corners of the frame inside that holds the flyscreen) and pull out the whole window... simples!
