Despite your paint issues, in pictures it looks really smart, love the colour.

Those wheels are too small though.  :rolleyes:

Yeah those Bentleys looked massive!

Yeah Guy knows his shizzle, I'm sure he'll get it back to as good as the car will let him.

Here are some pics from todays effort.. the paintwork is really in a sorry state.. there is no panel without a bad scratch or little dent.. i thought i would give it a go.. I only did the outside as the inside needs shampooing which Guy is going to do  :cool:

Products used.

snow foam ph neutral
chemical guys shampoo
meg clay bar and dodo born slippy lube
AG super resin polish (its all ive got without using the DA)
jetseal 109
DODO supernatural hybrid sealant wax
meg tyre gel (also have Autosmart rubber dressing i need to try)
AG fast glass
Chemical guys trim dressing restorer stuff

Thats about it i think













GET LOW !! the coilovers are fully wound down  :cool: :cool:
