I've said it once and I'll say it again, what a superb looking thing! Good to see it getting some attention and looking all the better for it!

Great work Neil, and a very nice line up of detailing gear.  :cool:

Much jealous as I still need to do my new car detail but time constraints/commitments mean it will be done in phases.  Hopefully, decontamination this Sunday, and protection - seal and wax, next Sunday, weather permitting of course.  Grr, want it done now!!!

Your i8 is a very beautiful thing.  :smiley:

What, better than a bacon sandwich! :drool:

Sorry Neil accidentally modified your post instead of quoting it at first!!! Rectified now. Modify and quote  buttons too close together!!!

Looks amazing and you've done a top job cleaning it too. Bet your WoWo Wheel Mit is ideal for them alloys too.

Certainly did, they've got a really narrow split spoke on them that you can't really see.

Great job Neil, looks fantastic. I see what you mean with the alloys, they make my Santiagos look easy to clean!

Must be a bit tight getting your car through those garage doors!

Not too bad to be honest. The M4 was about the same. The garage is being converted at the end of the month to include a single large door so then I'll be able to get the cars on and doors open as its tight getting down the side at the moment.
