like it...  :cool:

when you've gone to that much trouble it is a shame not to use a tyre dressing like autosmart highstyle to finish off and make the tyres look spanky too

you can also dress arches, and a cleaned engine bay and door shuts with autosmart finish

a bit of metal polish such as some belgom alu and some 00 gauge wire wool will have that exhaust looking spanky in no time, finish off with a microfibre  :wink:

look on the Autosmart website and look for your local rep, most dealerships or repair centres use them for there cleaning products, also ring Autosmart direct for info for your local reps number.
