Yellow is the "bestest/fastest" colour by miles

The cars looking really sweet mate, and I'm loving the shine as well.

I hate it when security guards go crazy with the power. I've been moved on so many times it's untrue.
I went for a mini photo shoot last Saturday, I've got links to the photos in my signature. I just wish I had a tonneau cover to put on mine

Looks great. Get some OZ Anthricite 17's on there, they would look really smart on yellow

I'm pleased as punch with mine, but I do need to get those '04 wheels recon'ed as there are loads of kerbing damage. gettign that done to all four is going to be a right pain.
And the lower chin spoiler is chinned to hell, so it's far from perfect but it drives really well.

Silly question, but what do you use in the way of cleaning products to get that lovely shine?

i have a large selection to go through. start off with a normal shampoo wash then chamied (sp) then apply autoglym ultra shine polish (black label). but then alternate between meg's scratch x and megs nxt and have started to use carlack with a p21s wax. depends really what i have on at the weekend whether i have a show to go to or not.

taken 3 months though to get it that far!

Cheers for the heads up. Sounds like a lot of work is required to get your car looking so nice.

I was chatting to Nezil today, and I saw first hand just how much smoother the paintwork feels, after a good clay bar'ing. I think I'll start with a basic wash, clay bar and polish to being with, and maybe work up from there.
