The prices of 90's RS2000's are crazy I would restore to stock condition and hang on to it for a few years, being a 1 owner vehicle that will bump up the price.

Rob, back in the day I washed everything from brand new painted cabs to the underside of trailers that had spent 6 months in Romania. Its just better to soak everything before you use the pressure of the jet wash, even though its low pressure. Love the videos, guys :)

I have been using Mer polish for decades. One of my first cars, back in about 1991/92-ish, was a Mk1 Astra with a chrome filler cap that was caked in dried on petrol and dried petrol runs down the bodywork. I tried everything to get the petrol off but nothing shifted it. Bought a bottle of Mer at a show and tried that, it took all the dried on petrol off the bodywork and filler cap. I don't use any other polish now unless I have run out of Mer and haven't managed to get more. The other thing I like is you can put a capful into a bucket of water and use it to wash the car, and unlike most polishes that say you must use it on a dry car not in direct sunlight, you can wash the car then just start polishing it without having to dry it and it doesn't matter if it's overcast or bright sunshine the Mer still polishes the car well.

You lucky boys!! Absolutely gorgeous! I did the tape game to! Added 21 horse power! Mer polish! Knew before I checked your links! I remember the market traders selling that odd sized blue bottle! One used to polish a original mini wing with it and then demonstrated how it protected against flames! Using a petrol soaked rag and a zippo!! Ah happy days! Really lovely lads enjoy it! Cheers!

Great stuff Rob, well done. Maybe remove the rear badges to mop and polish behind them and then refit them. Nice work. Hopefully there is not much fuel in the tank that may have turned into thick sticky treacle and clogged up all the fuel lines too. You deserve to make a decent return on that. Thank you for sharing.
