Owner of this recently drove it across Europe and wanted a good clean to remove the build up of dirt and tar from the trip before putting into storage for the winter. A bit about the CSR 260 The Caterham 7 CSR is the latest evolution of the Seven design. It sees the long-awaited return of Cosworth to the road car market after a ten-year absence with two bespoke, high performance engines. The new model also benefits from the introduction of a fully independent rear, and inboard F1-style, front suspension plus major aerodynamic and chassis enhancements. Engine: 2.3 litre Cosworth Duratec Max Power (bhp/rpm) 260bhp @ 7500 Max Torque (lbs ft/rpm) 200 @ 6200 Weight 575kg 0-60mph 3.1 Seconds Power-to-weight 452bhp-per-tonne Top Speed 155mph First thing we did was wash the car then jacked the car up to remove the wheels. I cleaned the arches and suspension whilst Matt cleaned and protected the wheels. Arches/suspension sprayed with BH Surfex and then worked with a brush and then Tardis was used to remove the tar. Before After Wheels cleaned with Epsuma Revolution with tyres being cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser. Once wheels clean they were given a IPA wipedown and then Nanolex Premuim Sealant was applied.
