These pics where taken after 2 1/2 hours of carefull cleaning...old owner had it in a garage but only washed it...3 coats of Maguires on him now...and I was up at 6am to wash him....do you know how hard it is to wax a black car when there is even a hint of sun or heat around  :grin:

Defo plan not to break him.... :smiley:

yes i do it an utter unt and if u put the polish on then it gets hot it a)burns ur hand and b) takes extra mega long to buff it off cos it sets hard. black looks sex wen its polished tho, especially at nite on the m25 under the yellow road lights

Have to agree...black is the s3x  :evil:

I use Maguires Tech Wax...you can get away with doing other colours hot days and even a hint of sunshine...but not this one  :sad:....but saying that...after all the effort..it makes the result more worthwhile  :cool:

Saying that...the Tech Wax is £14.99 a bottle....and mine lasted me for 1 1/2 years doing at least one wax a week...you really do only use a little bit each time...and there is no residue...might be a bit of an expense at first...but it will last longer than 2 £8.99 bottles of Autogloop :wink:

and the Maguires smells yummy  :laugh:
