I'd just like to thank all the people with shiny cars for their inspiration (And of course Tango Man for the hours of reading in his thread). Finally got round to cleaning her today and after 5 hours, the majority of imperfections/swirls appear to be out. Discovered a few touch ups on the way though which I'll need to get sorted. I'll try and work out how to post pics later and put some up. I've always Hated cleaning cars. But today It actually felt pleasing, especially seeing each panel, one by one returning to how it should be. Taken on my phones camera so not the best but good enough. Oh and before any of you eagle eyed bunch say it. Yes, the wheels do still need cleaning. Unfortunately I wasn't patient enough to take before pics, but believe me. It did look a mess.



My wonderfull reflection

Good stuff. The thing is though, being a black car it will only last about 5 minutes.. Silverstone is the best choice - so easy to keep looking good.

Congratulations Nezzy and keep up the good work.

I was after silverstone originally but the only S2000's I see on the road seem to be silverstone and although black is not a particularly special colour, when clean they do look stunning. I also have a few things planned for it and when finished I reckon black will have been the best option for me.

Black and dark blue are beautiful out of the box aren't they?

Good on you for joining up too.

Well I use the forum a enough and its probably cheaper and better than any owners manual. Especially as everyone seems to have had similar problems already.

Welcome Nezzy the car looks lovely - out of interest what products / process did you follow.

The joys of owning a dark colour will see you out there cleaning her often.

Look at it as relaxation rather than a chore. :-)

There is nothing like seeing a clean shiny car when all around are filthy dirty over the winter months.

A fully fledged member now eh! Excellent. Ok, I will admit it - that does look damn good!
