Kev was amazed @ the results that you achieved mate

Keep up the good work
yeah he had to walk away and go and wash Paula's st. he couldn't look at it.

having done it before i knew that i was safe. the roof was a bit think so i only machine polished it rather than wet sanding.

i'm am very rarely truely happy with a car that i detail. mainly because i'd like to spend so long doing the car. if i could do this i'd have the car for weeks but on sunday it was one that i've walked away from 100% happy for the amount of time i had.

cheers for the comments hopefully he'll bring it to the lodge tomorrow.

i know one thing. it's got me really wanting a black blue mica bug eye. preferably a prodrive.

couple of quick mobily pics. i forgot my proper camera. these really don't do it justice.

hopefully it won't be. if it's too bad we'll have to postpone i'm afraid. i can grab the gazebo but anything more than a light to medium shower makes it a no go
