KyleB: Very shiny!  :cool:

I think mine has had its last wash last weekend, yesterday I was opened up for tennis elbow surgery on my right arm, probably wont be able to drive for 3 to 4 weeks, then on holiday for the next 2. Better news is that my BW21 car (as at Tuesday) is now down to BW18/19 as at today - my salesman called this morning.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Cheers mate, hope you're feeling better soon. The holiday will help no doubt, as will the news that your BW has been brought forward.  :shocked:

That looks great KyleB :cool:
Went out to wash mine and it started to rain, so just gave it a quick snow foam instead, hopefully get a proper clean tomorrow.
Really loving the 19s lately too :smiley:

Cleaned, Polished and Waxed it.

Quite happy with the outcome.





It'll stay clean for about 15 seconds but when DBP is clean it looks amazing.

Great job, really brings out the pearl flake especiallyin the first pic  :cool:

Cheers Cossieian, 19s are great until you need to clean them (annoying ridge that collects loads of crap) or buy tyres (£320 for two  :embarrassed:)

Thanks Booth, means a lot coming from someone as good as you at detailing. AG SRP has really pulled the flake out, really impressed.

Good at detailing...don't know about that mate  :embarrassed:

Kyle, get yourself over to the detailing section and post your top 3 products in the recent thread I started. Just been asked to take over as the moderator of that section and trying to get a nice little 'best of' detailing products list going.  Might be helpful to those just starting out or anyone looking for suggestions or a change to their regular stuff.  Best advice is always from the users  :smiley:
