I wasn't really happy with the paint on my car when I picked it up from the stealers, so I needed a pro. The plan was to get some tips, see how the pro's do it and look after my baby from then on. These are the results today, a few pics of mine and a link to the thread on Detailing World with much better pics:

She looks great, but too much black going on with those wheels imo.
It reminds me of Kit from Night-rider!. just need the red LED's in the grille and a hairstyle with sunglasses of david Hasslehoff and your on a winner.
Can i have your autograph please! :wink:
-
Man these threads make me sad :cry:
I havent been able to properly clean mine since like the last time we had a sunny day (along long time ago).
I've got a £150 worth of gear here waiting to be used but i have to wait till the car comes out the repair centre and then i have to pray we get some sunny weather :embarassed:
Motor is looking good there :smiley:
