What have you done to your Elgrand today?

Well not what I've done exactly but Brumby spent over two weeks in garage getting some attention, to be fair parts were delayed but she's back on the road! Alloys need some attention though maybe a temporary fix up on those until funds allow a refurb.

£7 sidelight LEDs from Halfords. (More road legal than my blue, red, green, purple LEDs from AliExpress that have a mind of their own).

I also bought a three piece Nissan pearl white scratch/chip repair kit. I doubt the colour match will be perfect but I'll let you know how I get on.

What a transformation mate, we told you it was worth investing in a polisher! lol Now just keep on top of it with an occasional clay bar and wax! ;)

Photos don't do justice, used maguire wax, how often do you need to reapply wax?
Click to expand...
Not that often once or twice a year I think but I wax mine a lot more, I cannot stand a dirty car and the wax is great for keeping it clean, water just beads off now making it a lot easier to maintain the paintwork! Get yourself some quick detailer spray to use if its just a bit dusty from a few journeys thats what I normally do.
 
Today I mostly positioned the CanM8 Cruise controller, I can see it from the driving position and the controls fall easily to my fingers when my hand's at rest on my knee! 😁👍
