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:

Cheers for the comments guys..
Guy - I used meg's tyre dressing but you cant really see it in them pics.. I do need some metal polish aswell as the exhaust does look nice all polished up.. engine bay and doorshuts was done with G101.. i just didnt do the arches wish i had now !!
Will invest in some highstyle end of the month as ive spent my quota this month lol

and yes Jimble all done by hand.. will be investing in a machine polisher when moneys a bit better.
