Life on Cars

Life on Cars

Hi

I'm Paul, I've spent my life working on Cars, Engines and Vehicles. Join me on my car journey with projects, repairs and vehicle related video content.

My current focus is on my three project cars:

1. 2006 Jaguar XK (X150)
2. 1990 Toyota MR2 (SW20)
3. 1994 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 3 (SZ)

All three cars are special to me and connect to my Automotive and family history.

I film and edit on my own, and I'm still improving my technical skills with the camera and editing.

Thanks for watching!

    Paul...my guess is shots of steam will loosen all the contaminates.

    Beautiful result after a lot of hard graft. Did a similar job on a 2CV Charleston which is 1/4 the size of the Rolls. Was knackered afterwards but then again I am 73.

    Looking Majestic again, but feels naked without the hub caps! So glad it's finally indoors away from the elements. Survived surprisingly well despite being abandoned in that car park for an extended period.

    Gliptone Sap Off is a good product for tree related contamination. Speaking of Gliptone they have a superb leather care range that will be perfect for the seating. This is NOT an advertisement. Thank you.

    You’re doing a great job. I can recommend, for the door seals, now that you’ve cleaned them, Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber (if you didn’t already know) to keep them in tip-top condition. From a weekend warrior 😂

    Your winning all the way so far. So what it will need for an MOT and bringing up to standard mechanically is the next hurdle. But the way your luck is running with it you probably be OK. If you decide to sell it at the end of the job I see a big, big, earn!

    @stephenhyland Im trying to understand what you've just said in your comment. A 2008 car that you've had for 16 years until now and not done any mileage so where does the 900k come in if its never been on the road. This is going right over my head, does anyone else think the same?

    I use industrial fallout remover on the vehicle body, which does an incredible job dissolving contaminates. Spray on the body, it goes on clear and watch it turn purple as the chemical works its magic. Best used in a well ventilated area though. Many products on the market with some working better than others. Take a look at Gtechniq W6 Iron and General Fallout Remover, its not bad. Spray on and leave for 5 minutes, then pressure wash off. It's not unusual to have to go over the body a couple of times using the fall out remover if the vehicles body is heavily contaminated. I never use clay bars. Also do invest in a proper DA polisher and different pads. I use a meguiars DA with meguiars 5" pads polishing and finishing pads. Meguiars compound polish is awesome as is the Meguiars ultimate polish, as is the DA meguiars finishing wax that is applied using a microfiber pad or cloth. I always finish my car bodywork with Griots ceramic 3 in 1 wax. This is so easy to apply and certainly gives my steel blue paintwork an awesome shine. Tyres, I use Adams graphene tyre dressing but I am still testing out other major brands to achieve my desired wet look finish. Best to detail the vehicle in a garage to be honest, not outside. Great video, and keep up your awesome work. Love n respect from Taiwan.
